    The ingrediants:
    4 cups of coffee
    1 cup of white grappa
    1 heel of Genepě ( another herbs liquer)
    2 nails of garofano
    milled cinnamon

    The preparation: put some sugar on the edge of the grolla, put the cofee and all ingredients inside, put some grappa on the sugar and ignite the vapors that go outside the pot, so the sugar became brown. Wait until the alcool flame finish, put all the brown sugar (caramello) inside the grolla and melt all.

  • GEnepy is a Alps liquer, This herbal mountain dew; genepy or genepi, is known as a natural elixir indigenous to the western Alps, made with Alpine herbs grow at very high elevations of 2,400 meters or more.
    about 2.400 mt and more.
    The golden buds of the genepy plant are transformed into a liqueur of the same name. They put 20 plants of artemisia glacialis in 1 lt alcool for liquer, leave it there for 45 days, after put 1 lt boild water, and after a quiet night u have to filter all. Fro a good product u have to wait another month. . The genepy plant comes from the wormwood family, more specifically, Artemisia genipi, glacialis, and mutellina. Even though a wide assortment of these herbal plants dot the mountains and valleys throughout the region, only these three varieties are harvested for the liqueur.
