Tasting Table amaro

350 milliliters 192-proof neutral grain spirit (such as Everclear; can substitute with high-proof vodka)
4 grams gentian root
5 grams bitter orange peel
2 grams dandelion root
3 grams licorice root
3 grams chamomile
3 grams cinchona bark
4 grams rhubarb root
Water and sugar

The measurements are approximate, as my 1 gram scale isn't really up to the task. I strained this one for a month, used 120 proof Everclear (lol california), and ended up with 325ml amaro, 150ml simple syrup, and 125ml water. I might use a little more water and less syrup next time, but it's close.

Also tried it with 75ml syrup and 250ml water and it was a bit too bitter.
