Homemade Tonic Bitters

My “rough” recipes for the botanical brilliance:

Lavender-Ginger-Cardamom:
1 Tbs. lavender
2 tsp. fresh ginger
1 tsp. cardamom
1 lemon peel
6 oz. Everclear (100 proof vodka)

 

Vanilla-Clove-Cacao:
1 vanilla bean, split
1 tsp. cacao
1 tsp. clove
6-8 oz. Everclear

 

Earl Grey-Orange:
2 Earl Grey tea bags
1 tsp. dried orange peel
8 oz. Everclear

 

Allow each mixture to sit in glass jars, stored in a cool dark place, for about 30 days.
Strain.

Store in pigmented glass jars to protect the integrity of your botanicals.

 

Enjoy.
