Bitter Brew Infusion

An intense, sharply bitter herbal brew inspired by the concept of rancid and ogrish flavors. This dark infusion awakens the palate with a complex bitterness balanced by earthy undertones.

Steps

1. Boil 1 cup of water in a small pot. 2. Add dried wormwood, dandelion root, ground coffee, and dried orange peel to the boiling water. 3. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes to extract the bitter flavors. 4. Strain the brew into a cup. 5. Stir in blackstrap molasses until dissolved. 6. Add honey to taste if you want a slight sweetness to balance the bitterness. 7. Serve hot and sip slowly to appreciate the layered bitter notes.
