The Homemade Licorice Cream Liqueur is easy to make. Only a few ingredients are needed to get an after-dinner drink with a pleasant taste on the palate. Milk, cream, alcohol for liqueurs, sugar, and the most important thing… licorice powder. This can be found in herbal shops and often at market stalls along with spices. Excellent as a digestif but care must be taken as licorice cream liqueur is not suitable for those with high blood pressure. Follow all the instructions and it will be a success!

Ingredients
- 2 1/8 cups Whole milk
- 3/4 cup Fresh liquid cream
- 1 1/2 cups Brown sugar (fine)
- 2.8 oz Licorice powder
- 5 fl oz Pure alcohol (96% vol.)
Tools

Steps
Pour the milk and cream into a pot. As soon as it begins to boil, turn off and add the well-mixed licorice powder and sugar without lumps.
Stir and put back on the heat. Before it starts boiling again, turn off and let cool. Add the alcohol and mix. Pour the cream liqueur into clean bottles (for cleaning, I pour a few drops of alcohol, shake, and drain). Store in the refrigerator and wait a week before serving this delicious cream.
