1
Infuse the Herbs
In a large glass jar, combine the dried herbs (wormwood, gentian, etc.) with the neutral spirit or vodka. Seal the jar tightly and let it sit in a dark, cool place for about 2 weeks. Shake it gently every few days to help release the flavors.

2
Prepare the Sugar Syrup
In a saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Heat over medium heat until the sugar is completely dissolved. Allow it to cool slightly before proceeding.

3
Combine the Infusion and Syrup
Once the herb infusion has steeped for 2 weeks, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean container to remove the herbs. Add the prepared sugar syrup to the strained infusion.

4
Add Flavoring Ingredients
To the combined infusion and syrup, add the dried orange peel, dried lemon peel, cinnamon stick, cloves, and star anise. Seal the container and let it sit for another week to allow the flavors to meld together.

5
Bottle the Amaro
After a week, strain the mixture again to remove the flavoring ingredients. Transfer the amaro to clean bottles, seal them, and store them in a cool, dark place. Enjoy your homemade Argala Amaro Alpino!
