Lemon Verbena Liqueur

Chop one half cup of fresh lemon verbena leaves and put in a jar. Add 4 cups of vodka and let it sit covered for 2 weeks, shake once in a while. After 2 weeks, add 2 cups of sugar and shake to dissolve. Let that sit for 2 more weeks. Strain out the leaves, bottle the gloriously fragrant, delicious liqueur and either add it to desserts or seltzer.
