We made bitters by creating tinctures from a large number of different botanicals, spices, and barks. These involved a mix of bittering agents (like gentian, black walnut leaf, quassia, burdock) and flavoring or aromatic agents (like cinnamon, or chocolate. A few agents (like hops) do double duty. The tinctures were all of various strengths. | |||
We mixed and sampled bitters over a number evenings to try out many different combinations until we found exactly the right combinations. | |||
