    It is kind of like home-made jagarmeister. My husband and I like it in the winter...it really warms you up and could get rid of a cough in a pinch - this sounds much better tasting though. I will have to make this for winter - Thanks again friend! ~Dawn

    What perfect timing. By the time the peppermint has disolved it will be the "cold season", literally. Oh, ya, we will try this!

    I could not tell you how long it keeps because when we were kids and the parents were away it went quickly. (And we got into big trouble) Really, I am not sure. To the best of my memory it lasted a couple of years before the jar was empty. (When parents finally hid it from us!)Sorry I could not do better with that information!

    Wow, sounds interesting, you have my 5. Will give this a try, nothing worse then a cough that won't go away when you feel badly from a cold.
