That's what I heard, too. I also heard Health, Love, and Prosperity. In
either case, three sounds good, right?
Here's really why I'm commenting: I have a couple friends who love Sambuca.
Well, I hate licorice, so I'm a little bit hesitant to try it, but I was told
that another "traditional" way to serve Sambuca is to pour it over the three
coffee beans, place it in front of the drinker, and light it up.
Apparently the flame action releases the coffee flavor of the beans. I'm not
so sure that'd work...anyone know one way or the other?
