Hi,
As u know sambuca came from Italy. In old day whan a men want to get married
with his girl , he must came to here family and have a meal and get to know
her parents.
After the meal the mother came with a shot of sambuca to the table for the men
and the rest of the family. If the parents like the young men she put on this
shot 3 coffee beans, if not (2 of 4 coffee beans) the family didn't like him
and he can't get marrie with the daughter.
Jazzid.
