HOMEMADE GENTIAN SECRET RECIPE, from today it’s no longer secret, even though it actually never was. It requires high-quality white wine, preferably dry. In this preparation, the wine is really important, so it absolutely must be good; otherwise, it could compromise the successful outcome of the “digestive” bitter. Exactly, gentian is an excellent digestive, not difficult to prepare, but patience is needed here, a lot of patience because you have to wait forty days for it to rest and release all the natural essences contained in the gentian root into the wine. Later, combined with sugar and alcohol, it becomes a truly bitter digestive.

Preparation of homemade gentian
First, get two three-liter jars with airtight closures, one of which should comfortably hold the two liters of wine with the gentian roots in infusion for forty days.
Forty days go by quickly, but remember to shake the jar with the gentian root and the wine once a day, and preferably keep it in a dark place. With great patience, use a second three-liter jar to filter the wine from the gentian (I then used the food mill to thoroughly squeeze the gentian root).
Weigh the sugar and dissolve it in the jar with the wine and gentian infusion.
At this point, add the alcohol and bottle the HOMEMADE GENTIAN SECRET RECIPE!
Ready for any occasion! And what better occasion to toast the new year!
