Method

Preparation

Infuse the Alcohol

In a large glass jar, combine the high-proof alcohol with all the dried herbs and spices. Seal the jar tightly and let it infuse in a cool, dark place for 2-4 weeks. Shake the jar gently every few days to help the infusion process.

Strain the Mixture

After the infusion period, strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove the solid herbs and spices. You should be left with a clear liquid.

Prepare the Syrup

In a small saucepan, combine sugar and water. Heat over medium heat until the sugar is completely dissolved to create a simple syrup. Allow to cool.

Combine and Adjust Flavor

Once the syrup has cooled, mix it with the strained herbal infusion. Taste and adjust sweetness by adding more syrup if desired.

Bottle and Store

Transfer the final amaro into clean bottles. Seal tightly and store in a cool, dark place. It can be consumed immediately, but letting it sit for an additional week will enhance the flavors.
