Method

Preparation

1

Infuse the Herbs

In a large glass jar, combine all dried herbs and spices with the neutral grain spirit. Seal the jar tightly and let it sit in a cool, dark place for 2 weeks, shaking it gently every few days.

2

Strain the Mixture

After 2 weeks, strain the liquid through a coffee filter or fine mesh strainer to remove the solids. Discard the solids.

3

Prepare Simple Syrup

In a small pot, combine sugar and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely. Let it cool.

4

Combine and Dilute

Mix the strained herbal infusion with the simple syrup to balance the bitterness. Adjust sweetness to taste.

Bottling

5

Bottle the Fernet

Pour the final mixture into clean, sterilized bottles. Seal tightly and label your fernet. Allow it to age for another week for flavors to meld.
