Method

Preparation of Base

1

Combine Base Ingredients

In a large glass container, combine the neutral grain spirit and water. Stir gently to mix.

2

Add Sugar

Gradually add sugar to the spirit and water mixture, stirring continuously until the sugar is fully dissolved.

Infusion of Herbs

3

Prepare Herbal Mixture

In a separate bowl, combine all dried herbal components: wormwood, orange peel, gentian root, chamomile, mint, thyme, juniper berries, cinnamon stick, and cloves.

4

Infuse the Mixture

Add the herbal mixture to the base ingredients. Seal the container tightly and let it sit in a dark, cool place for 2 to 4 weeks, shaking it gently every few days.

Final Steps

5

Strain the Mixture

After the infusion period, strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove the herbal solids.

6

Add Additional Flavorings

Add the vanilla bean (scraped seeds and pod) and coffee beans to the strained liquid. Let it sit for an additional week for flavors to meld.

7

Bottle the Amaro

Once the flavors have melded, strain again if needed and transfer the liquid into clean bottles. Seal and label.
