Ingredients:

Dried Lemon Peel from One Lemon

1/2 Cup of Dried Roses (petals are fine)

1 Cup of Grain Alcohol (Bacardi 151, Everclear etc.)

2 Glass Jars with Screw Lids

Directions:

Add one cup of grain alcohol to each jar. Bacardi makes a slightly sweeter bitters than Everclear. 

Add dried lemon peel to one jar. Add dried roses to the other jar. The more lemon peel and roses you add the faster they infuse with the alcohol. You want to use separate jars because the lemon peel and roses may infuse at different rates.

Shake jars daily. Taste test the bitters after about a week by dropping a drop on the back of your hand and tasting it. Each should taste strong, but floral or lemony.  The process should take about 2 to 3 weeks for each.

Once the bitters are to taste, which may be at different times, strain the lemon peels and roses from the alcohol. 

Combine the lemon bitters with the rose bitters to taste- we recommend a ratio of 2 parts rose bitters to 1 part lemon bitters. 

Add a few drops to gin drinks.
