Dandelion & Burdock Herbal Bitters

5 from 1 vote
Homemade wild foraged bitters are the perfect addition to fancy cocktails.  They're pleasantly bitter, and the addition of the orange peel makes it perfect for turning into an aperitif cocktail. Combine it with sparkling water and a splash of orange or grapefruit juice for a lovely drink before a meal.
