Method

If you have the time, put all the ingredients into a bottle, seal tightly and leave in a cool, dark place for one to two months, shaking occasionally.

Otherwise, put them all into a large pan and bring to the boil. Remove from the heat and set aside until cool. Strain and bottle. Can be used immediately.
