Pack a 2-quart jar with ingredients and cover with the apple brandy. Allow the botanicals to macerate in the alcohol for 8 weeks.
After 8 weeks, strain out the solids and reserve the liquid amaro. The amaro can be diluted and sweetened as is, or added to a barrel to age longer.
Note: It is important when foraging to always be certain you are harvesting the desired plant and not something that could harm you or anyone else. If unsure, consult a guidebook or an experienced forager in your area.
