Been looking into a recipe for it as I do like a couple shots of it every now and then, I found this and wanted to see if anyone has tried it or has a different way of making it or seen it somewhere else :handgestures-thumbupleft:
Black Sambuca
1 litre alcohol (40%abv)
1 litre (4 cups) of ripe elderberries
1/8 tsp anise essential oil (15 drops or use equivalent pure aniseed extract from Supermarket)
1/8 tsp pure licorice root extract
strip of lemon peel
2 cups of granulated sugar (can be in form of invert syrup)
1 tsp glycerine (for smoothness)
Macerate the elderberries in alcohol until it becomes a characteristic dark color, then add sugar, anise, licorice, lemon peel and macerate for 30 days. Strain.
I just got a kg of dried elderberries in mail today. 3 to 1 fresh v dried? And I’d like to try stevia as sweetener instead :think:
