Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Base

    In a large glass jar, combine the high-proof grain alcohol and water. Stir gently to mix.

  2. 2

    Infuse Herbs and Spices

    Add the wormwood, gentian root, peppermint leaves, anise seeds, dandelion root, cinnamon stick, star anise, cloves, cardamom pods, and orange peel to the jar.

Steeping

  1. 3

    Let It Steep

    Seal the jar tightly and let the mixture steep in a dark, cool place for at least 2 weeks, shaking the jar gently every few days to ensure even infusion.

Finalization

  1. 4

    Strain the Mixture

    After 2 weeks, strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a clean bottle to remove the solids.

  2. 5

    Add Sweeteners

    In a small saucepan, combine the brown sugar and honey with a little water over low heat, stirring until dissolved. Allow to cool slightly, then add to the strained herbal mixture.

  3. 6

    Bottle the Fernet

    Transfer the final fernet into clean bottles and seal tightly. Store in a cool, dark place.
