Concurrently, combine vermouth and sugar in a separate sealed glass jar, storing it in a cool, dark place for 5 days until the sugar dissolves.

After 5 days, strain the alcohol into a clean bottle. Transfer the strained herbs to the vermouth-sugar mixture and steep for an additional 7 days.
-
Strain the infused and sweetened vermouth into the bottle with the previously strained alcohol.

Allow the combined mixture to sit for 1 day, then filter it through a paper coffee filter.
