Homebrew spirits. How to make Galliano Sambuca Black. This recipe is sweeter and smoother then the real stuff. I highly reccomend you watch this video.
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.
@cbenderrun Maple syrup would have a similar consistantcy to liquid glucose, flovour would be different but like all home brew, it is up to the makers preference, you can also get powder Liqueur Bases.
thanks for posting so soon, being in canada i wonder how maple syrup would change the characteristics of the finished sambuca?. i only say this because some maple syrups are not as sweet as others and when diluted could work well.
@cbenderrun I'm pretty sure brewing adjuncts are a totally different thing, as far as I know they are used in beer for flavour. The non-sweetened glucose I use when mixing up liqueur is a pretty much used for it's thinckening properties even though it does have some sweetness to it, it really doesn't have much of a flavour.
Here is another recipe
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.
