Welcome to our guide on how to make Genzianella, a delightful Italian liqueur that captures the essence of traditional Italian flavors. Genzianella is made from the roots of the Gentiana plant, which is known for its unique bitterness. In this article, we will walk you through the step-by-step process of making your own Genzianella at home.

What You’ll Need:

Before we dive into the recipe, let’s gather all the ingredients and equipment you’ll need:

  • 500g Gentiana plant roots
  • 1 liter of pure alcohol (at least 95% ABV)
  • 500g sugar
  • 1 liter of water
  • A glass jar with a tight-fitting lid
  • A mesh strainer

Step 1: Preparing the Gentiana Roots

Start by cleaning the Gentiana roots thoroughly. Use a knife to remove any dirt or debris. Once cleaned, chop the roots into small pieces.

Step 2: Infusing the Roots

Place the chopped Gentiana roots in the glass jar. Pour the pure alcohol over the roots, making sure they are fully submerged. Seal the jar with the lid tightly and store it in a dark and cool place for at least 45 days. Remember to shake the jar gently every few days to promote full extraction of flavors.

Step 3: Making the Syrup

After the infusion period, it’s time to prepare the syrup. In a saucepan, combine sugar and water. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring continuously until the sugar is completely dissolved. Let the syrup cool completely.

Step 4: Filtering and Bottling

Using a mesh strainer, carefully strain the infused alcohol to remove any solid particles. Discard the Gentiana roots. Combine the infused alcohol with the cooled syrup and stir well. Transfer the liqueur into clean, sterilized bottles, and seal them tightly.
