Orange Bitters

Ingredients:

• 1/2 lb dried, bitter seville orange peel

• 1 pinch cardamom

• 1 pinch caraway

• 1 pinch coriander seeds

• 2 cups grain alcohol

• Water

• 4 tbsp caramel food coloring

Instructions:

1. Chop the orange peel finely and mix it with the herbs and alcohol. Let it stand for 15-20 days in a sealed jar, agitating it every day.

2. Pour off spirits through a cloth, and seal again.

3. Put the strained off seeds and peel in a saucepan, crush them, cover with boiling water, and simmer for 5 minutes. Pour into another jar, cover, and let stand for 2 days. Strain this off and add it to the spirits. Add caramel coloring, filter again, and let it rest until it settles perfectly clear.
