Pernod Aniseed Aperitif Liqueur, 70 cl

Product Information

All of the previous recipes can be simplified by using the spices in sachet form and just combining them to taste. Anise in its raw seed form can also be paired with a wide range of dishes, adding flavour and a slightly crunchy texture to salad and vegetable trays, platters of citrus fruits, pineapple, mint, figs or carrots, as well as when added to fish and lamb. Pop the sloe berries, coffee beans and vanilla pods into a clean glass jar. I used fresh, ripe berries. If you have frozen sloes, there is no need to defrost. Leave to infuse in a cool, dark spot for 6-8 weeks, giving it a shake when you remember. It is advised not to leave the sloes macerating for longer than eight weeks in this particular infusion, or you may find your sloe and aniseed liqueur becomes bitter. Build all ingredients in an antique clear jar filled with ice cubes. Stir. Top with crushed ice. Garnish with a lime wedge. Allergies: Anise might cause allergic reactions in some people who are allergic to other plants that are similar to anise. Plants that are similar to anise include asparagus, caraway, celery, coriander, cumin, dill, and fennel.
