Here’s a quick and dirty schnapps recipe. This was the only recipe out of three that turned out really good – I also tried sea buckthorn and blackberries, but both of these schnapps’ did not taste like much. This recipe, on the other hand has a strong taste of licorice and chili! And it does not need to infuse for as long as schnapps made with fruit.

- Filter out licorice and chilies (e.g. through a tea filter)
