Le Pastis du Père Arnaud
This recipe is to make your own pastis. It comes from the Alpes (french montains).
This recipe is to make 5 liters of pastis. You need :
5 liters of alcool at 45 degrees.
100 grammes of "badiane"
50 grammes of anise.
25 grammes of fennel.
25 grammes of "coriandre"
50 grammes of crushed licorice.
Be careful of the quality of alcool. Do not make it yourself. It is preferable to use fuit alcool. Make everything together during one month. Mix everydays. Filter.
Drink it with 5 to 7 volume of water. It's good but don't drink too much!!
This is a traditional french song about the "51". The "51" is a name of a famous manufacturer of pastis. The prayer come from a famous catholic prayer but the remarks have change.
51 je t'aime
ChorusLa prière du Pastis
Notre pastis qui est aux cieux
Que ta bouteille soit sanctifiée
Que ta volonté soit faite
Au bar comme au comptoir
Donne-nous aujourd'hui
Notre verre quotidien
Pardonne-nous nos gueules de bois
Comme nous pardonnons aussi
A ceux qui boivent du Coca
Soumets-nous à la tentation
Et délivre-nous de la soif
