Why is it considered difficult to DIY your bitters?
With many recipes now available over the internet, people are confused about the original, fool-proof recipes for bitters. An interesting fact about bitters is that they do not have a certain recipe.
These mysterious potions may be ready in a couple of days or may take a couple of months. Making bitters is not a piece of cake for everyone. It requires a lot of bitter research and experimentation, and then only you can come slightly close to what your taste buds are craving for.
Most of the people are even unfamiliar with the herbs and barks listed in any bitters ingredients list. Their proportions are also puzzling for most of us, who have limited experience. The proportions of herbs and barks involved in a bitter-making process profoundly affect the final taste of the products. The bitters-making process is so complicated and diverse that you may use one or several (most probably six or seven) jars to create one flavor.
For example, one of the most popular, the Angostura bitters, has a secret recipe that only a few people are aware of.
Another challenge when creating a bitter is the time frame it requires to sit. Here is where most people lose hope when they wait for weeks and end up with something that is not what they have aimed for. Here is something that gives hope to those who are losing their interest in making bitters. The Galaxy Gas Whipped Cream Dispenser utilizes the pressurized Nitrous Oxide gas to infuse the flavors so you can accomplish a great deal in just one hour.
Where to find the ingredients listed in a bitters recipe?
If you cannot find the ingredients of this recipe or any other recipe at local grocery stores, there is no need to worry about it. There are several websites or online stores where these herbs, spices, and barks are readily available.
