The Italian drink Zambucca - any ideas what it's made from?

Sambuca is an anise-flavored liqueur, produced by the infusion of witch elder bush and licorice, sweetened with sugar and enhanced with a secret combination of herbs and spices.
White Sambuca is the traditional and generally the more popular variety, having a mellower licorice taste and lighter body than that of black sambuca.
Italian drink sambuca as an afterdinner drink (usually the white sambuca with one or two coffee bean in the drink) or pour some in their espresso coffee to enhance the flavor

My recipe is: 1.75ml vodka (non-flavored), 4-1/2 cups granulated sugar, 6 tablespoons pure anise extract and 6 tablespoons of pure vegetable glycerin. Mix all ingredients until completely infused. No need to heat or filter. Let stand for several hours and serve. My family has used this recipe for many years to be served at weddings and other family events.

Sambucca, Anisette and Ouzo are all made from the Anise plant.
