Curiosity
Why not add the alcohol immediately after the sugar and licorice have dissolved?
To prevent the alcohol from evaporating: in fact, adding it to a hot compound, the alcohol tends to evaporate.- Pour the liqueur into dark glass bottles or wrapped on aluminum paper.
- Keep in the fridge.

The black soul is a sweet liqueur suitable at the end of a meal, as the flavor and aroma blend “perfectly” with those of the coffee! On the other hand, the black soul and all alcoholic beverages, contrary to commonplace, tend to increase gastric secretion slowing down digestion due to EXCESSIVE lowering of the pH of the chyme. It follows that, except for pathologies of hypochlorhydria, the excessive intake of black blood can burden digestion times by fomenting the irritating action of acids towards the mucous membrane of the digestive tract with the risk of gastritis.
