Base Ingredients

Method

Preparation of Base

  1. 1

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large glass jar or bottle, combine 750 ml of neutral spirit with 300 g of sugar and 250 ml of water. Stir well until the sugar is fully dissolved.

  2. 2

    Infuse the Mixture

    Seal the jar tightly and let it sit in a cool, dark place for at least 24 hours, shaking it gently every few hours to help dissolve the sugar completely.

Flavor Infusion

  1. 3

    Prepare Flavoring Ingredients

    Split the vanilla beans lengthwise and scrape out the seeds. Zest the lemon and orange, making sure to avoid the bitter white pith. Gather the other spices and herbs.

  2. 4

    Add Flavorings

    After the base has infused for 24 hours, add the prepared vanilla beans, seeds, citrus zest, cinnamon stick, cloves, grated nutmeg, star anise, and herbs into the jar.

  3. 5

    Further Infusion

    Seal the jar again and let it infuse for an additional 2 weeks, shaking gently every few days to ensure even flavor distribution.

Final Steps

  1. 6

    Strain the Mixture

    After 2 weeks, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove all solids. Discard the solids.

  2. 7

    Bottle and Store

    Transfer the strained liqueur into clean bottles. Seal tightly and store in a cool, dark place. The liqueur can be enjoyed immediately but will taste even better after a few more weeks of aging.
