How to prepare Liquorice Liqueur
To prepare the liquorice liqueur, start by making the syrup: pour the brown sugar into a saucepan 1, add the water 2, and bring to a boil over medium heat 3.
Once the sugar has completely dissolved, lower the heat to a minimum and add the liquorice powder 4, stir with a whisk 5 until it dissolves: it will take a few minutes. Then turn off the heat and blend everything with a mixer 6 to best amalgamate the flavors and eliminate any lumps.
Strain the mixture directly into a bowl 7 and let it cool completely. When it's cold, add the alcohol 8 and incorporate it by mixing with a whisk. To achieve a clear liqueur, you will need to skim the mixture 9.
At this point 10, all that remains is to bottle your liquorice liqueur (11-12), perhaps to gift it to your friends as well as for your pantry reserve!
