Cloudy effect - relationship with maceration alcohol

[Demy]

I know well "the cloudy effect" which takes place in the presence of essential oil and water.
I am experimenting with the maceration and the subsequent distillation of the starry anise (in the same way as one gin) to obtain an essence that will be used in a liqueur (therefore added with alcohol and water). Previously I had cloudiness problems that now seem to be solved ...
I have a question for you: leave the safety problems out, the alcoholic gradation of the maceration (which will be distilled) affects the reduction or cancellation of the cloudy effect for a high content of essential oil (anise, citrus fruits etc. )? I keep in mind that they will be mixed with water and alcohol
Alcoholic gradation could be increased but this is sometimes not a house we want ... also in many cases like citrus fruits the essential oil already passes from the first distilled drops. From here my question is born, meanwhile I proceed with the experimentation. Thank you all for any answers.

I'm going to guess that what you were trying to say was lost in translation.

Personally, I don't use Star Anise in gin or Absinthe.

Probably…let's look at it another way. I want to make an essence with botanicals high in essential oils. The botanicals will be macerated in alcohol and then distilled to obtain a transparent essence. This essence will subsequently be added to other alcohol, sugar and water to obtain a liqueur (not a gin). This mixture often leads to a cloudy effect (oil+water). The question is: does ABV of initial maceration have any effect on limiting the cloudy effect? From my tests it would seem so but I would like the opinion of expert members.

I can make cloudy gin without macerating and with the botanicals in a Carter Head.

If there is a way to inhibit louche in a spirit that is overloaded with oils, I don’t know what it is.
