Ingredients

750 milliliters Everclear
3 Large Bunches of Cilantro
3 cups White Sugar
3 cups Water
1 Giant mason jar or vessel large enough to hold 7-8 cups of liquid

Directions

1

Wash your cilantro bunches & let dry on a kitchen towel.
2

Take the 3 bunches and cram them into your giant mason jar. Use a wooden spoon to bruise the cilantro slightly.
3

Pour in the entire 750 ml bottle of Everclear.
4

Screw on the top of the mason jar and leave on your counter for EXACTLY 3 DAYS.
5

After 3 days, make the simple syrup by combining 3 cups of white sugar with 3 cups of water. Bring to a simmer until all the sugar has dissolved. Let it cool completely.
6

While the simple syrup is cooling, strain your cilantro-cello. Wash the mason jar and pour the evil looking green liquid back in. Be careful when straining, this alcohol will stain pretty much anything it touches.
7

Add the cooled simple syrup to your cilantro liquid. Store your cilantro-cello in the fridge.
