Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Herbal Mixture

    In a large bowl, combine the dried orange peel, gentian root, wormwood, chamomile flowers, and mint leaves. Mix well to ensure even distribution of the herbs.

  2. 2

    Create the Infusion

    In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Once boiling, remove from heat and add the herbal mixture to the pot. Stir well and cover. Let the mixture steep for 24 hours to allow the flavors to infuse.

  3. 3

    Strain the Mixture

    After 24 hours, strain the herbal mixture through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth into another large pot. Discard the solid herbs, leaving only the liquid infusion.

  4. 4

    Add Sugar

    Return the strained infusion to low heat and add 2 cups of brown sugar. Stir continuously until the sugar has completely dissolved. Do not let it boil.

  5. 5

    Combine with Alcohol

    Once the sugar is dissolved, remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly. Gradually add 2 cups of high-proof alcohol to the mixture, stirring gently to combine.

  6. 6

    Bottle the Amaro

    Pour the finished amaro into clean glass bottles. Seal tightly and store in a cool, dark place. Allow the flavors to mature for at least two weeks before serving for the best taste.
