Solare,thanks for that, I can probably find it in a Health food shop. ;D
-
But you may have difficulty with the alcohol ? You could try Polish Pure Spirit, or some vodkas.
grazie solare - sounds good as un digestivo. :-* :-* :-* :-*
-
Thanks Thermomixer.
-
I used just alcohol, if you use wodka I think change the flavor (maybe)
Ethanol is an alcohol produced by fermentation of sugars, called also pure alcohol, by definition, being formed primarily of alcohols (organic compounds).
The commercially pure alcohol is formed in 95% ethanol and the remaining 5% water.
Bye Bye

The problem for us solare, is the government will not let us have pure alcohol like that without a license !
That's why we have to find substitutes for drinks like this. The Polish Pure Spirit has been the strongest readily available, but there are a couple of others like the vodka that you can find on occasions.
I can get it for veterinary purposes ;)

Hmm I think I know someone here who has one too Gert - thank you for that ;D ;D
Oh and yes a supply of liquorice as well Mr T - shame I am the only one that likes it in this family :D :D :D
-
I like liquorice but tried liquorice tea once, boy was that a mistake!!I put the remainder in the rubbish bin.
-
I feel sorry for this.
-
I make a mean Sambucca with my distilled sugar and yeast plus glucose and liquorice essence.
Gretchen
-
Yum Gretchen- love Sambucca.
-
And the recipe?
-
And the recipe?
First you buy your still, make a wash of 20 litres of water adding a special turbo yeast and 6 kilos of sugar. After fermenting for a week you distill it. I have an air distillery. Then you filter it through a ceramic filter, then a carbon filter. Now you have pure alcohol but you have to water it down to about 50% or less before adding a liquor essence and glucose to make Sambucca.
There is a lot of info on the web about buying and using a still. You can even build your own if you are inclined. Look out for the alcohol police!
Quite common up here in the deep north of Australia and other parts I am sure.

thank you very much.
-
*knock,knock* Ummmm that might be the police at the front door Gerty ?
Think I'm going to have to get one of those water filters.

You would have a ball with a a still if you had the time.

-
Yes, well there's the rub !!!!

I guess you can use vodka and just add a bit more of it and use less water. Vodka is pretty tasteless and a bit easier to buy then to start making your own alcohol.
