Lemon and Mint Digestif

I had lots of mint in my garden, and besides using it for tea and cooking, I wanted to try something new. I found a recipe for digestif, or after meal liquor, and I ended up making both Mint an Lemon digestif. They are delicious!!

The recipes were adapted from the Youtube channel  https://www.youtube.com/@NoSoyNormalCerveceria 

They make all kind of home made digestif.
