Ingredients for Averna - Amaro Siciliano
Method
Directions for Preparing Averna - Amaro Siciliano
Infusing the Alcohol
In a large glass jar, combine the neutral grain alcohol with the dried herbs, citrus peels, vanilla bean (split open), cinnamon stick, and cloves. Seal the jar tightly and let it sit in a cool, dark place for at least 2 weeks, shaking the jar gently every few days to mix the ingredients.
Straining the Infusion
Once the infusion has steeped for 2 weeks, strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a large mixing bowl. Discard the solids, keeping only the infused liquid.
Bottling the Amaro
Using a funnel, pour the combined mixture into clean, sterilized bottles. Seal tightly and label with the date.
Aging the Amaro
For best results, let the bottled amaro age for at least another 2 weeks to allow the flavors to meld together before serving.
