AI6YR BenWow, that stuff is *bitter*
For the record, steeping horehound. Bringing out all that bitterness for your drinking pleasure, LOL. #horehound
Bitter brew. The stuff on top is actually beeswax, I scooped some raw honey with wax bits in there for sweetener. I apparently should have diluted this! Then sweetened. #horehound #tea
The flavor of horehound at this concentration is essentially the bitterness and similar flavor to the aftertaste of grapefruit, and/or the bitter note of Bergamot in Earl Gray. It definitely requires a strong dilution and a lot more sweetening to temper the strong bitterness. #horehound
Brian Campbell@ai6yr I'm most familiar with horehound in candy form, so I associate it with sweet, but I guess that's because it's bitter enough that it needs a lot of sweetening to be palatable.
