1
Infusion Preparation
In a large glass jar, combine dried chamomile flowers, dried orange peel, dried mint leaves, dried wormwood, dried juniper berries, and the cinnamon stick.
2
Add Alcohol
Pour the high-proof vodka or neutral spirit over the herbs and spices in the jar. Ensure that all ingredients are fully submerged.
3
Steeping
Seal the jar tightly and let the mixture steep in a cool, dark place for about 2 weeks. Shake the jar gently every few days to help with the infusion process.
4
Strain the Mixture
After 2 weeks, strain the infusion through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into another clean jar. Discard the solids.
5
Make the Syrup
In a saucepan, combine the brown sugar and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is fully dissolved to create a simple syrup.
6
Combine and Bottle
Once the syrup has cooled, mix it with the strained infusion. Pour the finished Montenegro Amaro into clean bottles, seal, and label.
7
Maturation
Allow the bottled Montenegro Amaro to rest for at least a week before using for optimal flavor.
