Earl Grey Bitters No. 1



For my first ever bitters* experiment I decided to keep it simple

Recipe


Result:
Has a pretty simple and very tea like taste (I mean what else was I expecting)  - there are some good tannins from the tea and while the flavor of the end result is driven 80% by the tea the lemon somewhat smooths it out.

Rating:
holding off until I make more before any recommendations - but since it is my first.. it is my favorite so far



* I am unsure if tea is an acceptable bittering agent - enough so to really call these bitters.. but as I have said elsewhere on this blog.. i don't care
