the cardamom seeds and half an apricot seed. Mix

(except angelica root) and place in a tight glass

a coffee filter. Combine

In a separate small
glass jar combine the angelica root with 2 fl oz.
vodka. After two weeks
filter through a coffee filter.
Add small portions
of the angelica root extract to the liqueur until
you get a suitable
flavour. Check the flavor after 2 months. If
necessary, add some
more sugar syrup, vodka, or angelica extract.
Sugar syrup:
For herbal liqueurs
it is best to use a sugar syrup which is made as
follows: In a saucepan
combine 1 pound sugar, 1 cup water and
1/4 teaspoon citric
acid. Heat the mixture and stir until the sugar
is dissolved. Allow
to simmer on reduced heat for 15 minutes.
