Preparation

Step 1

First you cut up 3-4 lemons

then cut up 2 large onions into slices

Then I layer them - first lemons then onions until I have about the same amounts...

Then you take a jug of honey and pour that over the top.....

THEN... the booze - a bottle of blackberry brandy and a bottle of peppermint schnapps.....

(I'm pretty sure there's a step here regarding letting it sit for like 20 days or something).

We take about a Tblsp as adults and 1/4 tsp of it IF we give it to the boys.... There is no more alcohol in this than there is in over the counter cough syrup - just none of the synthetic stuff that they stick in it. My Amish friend said that she keeps hers in a cool place and that it will last.... are you ready - over a year.
