Working time approx. 5 minutes; Rest period approx. 14 days; Total time approx. 14 days 5 minutes
Popular drink from Spain
Fill a tea bag with anise and close it with a clip. This saves you having to filter it later. Pour the brandy into a large, sealable jar. Add the tea bag with the anise and the sugar. Add a little vanilla sugar if desired. Let it stand for at least 2 weeks, or longer if you like. Shake occasionally. Serve slightly chilled. Sol y sombra (sun and shade) is a very popular drink in Spain, although it is “mixed” in restaurants. The ingredients only mix in the mouth and not in the glass, hence the name. Sun for the clear, almost white anise liqueur and shade for the brandy. I developed this recipe from this, although the ingredients of anise and sugar can be varied depending on taste and personal preference. In Spain, a sweet or dry anise liqueur is used, depending on taste.
