How do you make homemade ouzo?

Answer 1

To make homemade ouzo, you'll need a base of high-proof alcohol, such as vodka or neutral grain spirit, which you will infuse with anise seeds for their distinct flavor. Combine the alcohol with crushed anise seeds and let it steep for several days, then strain the mixture. To sweeten the ouzo, you can add simple syrup, and finally, dilute it with water to achieve your desired strength. Allow it to rest for a few days before bottling for the best flavor.
