Halloween recipe: "Black soul" licorice liqueur


Today I would like to share with you the recipe of the licorice liqueur. This is not strictly a Halloween recipe, but can be a good idea for the occasion. This liqueur has a mysterious appearance, it's black and tasty. And did you read its name? "Black soul" is pretty dark. It's an appreciated Italian liqueur usually served after meals. This is the recipe of my good friend Domenica. If you like licorice, you'll love this recipe. The good thing is that unlike some other liqueurs, you can drink this one straight after bottling, so it will be ready in time for Halloween and the recipe is easy. Keep it in the fridge and serve it cold to your guests.
