Method

Preparation

1

Prepare the Aniseed Mixture

In a large glass jar, combine the aniseed and star anise.

2

Infuse the Alcohol

Pour the neutral spirit over the aniseed mixture. Seal the jar tightly and let it sit in a cool, dark place for at least 1 week. This allows the flavors to infuse.

Finalizing the Sambuca

Prepare the Sugar Syrup

In a saucepan, combine the water and sugar over medium heat. Stir until the sugar completely dissolves. Allow it to cool.

4

Combine and Filter

After the infusion period, strain the infused alcohol through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean container to remove the solids.

5

Mix the Ingredients

Add the cooled sugar syrup to the strained alcohol. Stir well to combine.

6

Bottle the Sambuca

Transfer the mixture into bottles. Seal tightly and store in a cool place. Your Sambuca is now ready to be enjoyed!
