• Cap the jar and shake gently to mix.
• Let stand in a cool, dark place for 1 week.
• Strain and filter the liquid.
• Transfer clear liqueur to a sterilized bottle.
• Note: To make sugar syrup, bring 1 cup sugar and 1/2 cup water to a boil.
• Simmer, occasionally scraping down the sides of the pan, until the sugar is dissolved, about 5 minutes.
