Ingredients
Base Ingredients
Flavoring Ingredients
Preparation
1. Infusing Anise Flavor
In a medium saucepan, combine the anise seeds and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to a simmer. Let it simmer for about 15 minutes to extract the flavor from the seeds.
2. Straining the Mixture
Remove the saucepan from heat. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean bowl to remove the anise seeds. Allow the liquid to cool to room temperature.
Combining Ingredients
3. Mixing the Base
In the cooled anise infusion, add the sugar and stir until fully dissolved. This will create a sweet base for your Sambuca.
4. Adding the Alcohol and Flavorings
Slowly pour in the neutral spirit while stirring continuously. Next, add the star anise pods, split vanilla bean, and coffee beans. Stir to combine all ingredients well.
Bottling and Aging
Serving
7. Serving Suggestions
Once aged, serve your homemade Sambuca chilled in small glasses or as a shot. Optionally, you can garnish with coffee beans or serve with water to dilute the sweetness.
