Base Ingredients

Herbs and Botanicals

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Infuse the Alcohol

    In a large glass jar, combine the neutral grain alcohol with all the herbs and botanicals: sweet orange peel, bitter orange peel, chamomile flowers, saffron, coriander seeds, fennel seeds, cardamom pods, mint leaves, rosemary, thyme, cloves, and juniper berries. Seal the jar tightly.

  2. 2

    Steep the Mixture

    Allow the mixture to steep in a dark, cool place for 2 to 3 weeks. Shake the jar gently every few days to help the infusion process.

  3. 3

    Strain the Mixture

    After the steeping time, strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove all solids. Discard the solids.

  4. 4

    Create the Syrup

    In a saucepan, combine the strained liquid and water. Add sugar and heat gently, stirring until the sugar is fully dissolved.

  5. 5

    Cool and Bottle

    Allow the mixture to cool completely. Once cooled, pour the Amaro Montenegro into clean bottles and seal tightly. Store in a cool, dark place.
