Have you ever put Angostura bitters in scrambled eggs? What about Orange bitters? Well a colleague of mine mentioned to me that she puts a dash or two of Orange bitters in her scrambled eggs and it is to die for. Her kids love it, where before, they found it bland. There are so many stories of people using bitters and orange bitters in different unique ways.
One person put the Orange bitters in their choco-coffee - a combination of chocolate mix and coffee. I tried it recently and oh what an aroma, what a great rich taste. Another told me about using the aromatic bitters in milk with a shot of rum......can you imagine; Rum, milk and bitters? Well I am certainly going to try that one out pronto.
There are many interesting ways of using these unique products, I recommend that you start trying them in your everyday cooking and see what you get out of it. You may be surprised, some wonderful recipes can be created. Share them with us here on the bitters blog.

ReplyDeleteOrange French Toast -- A la orange bitters.
I have used the original Angostura bitters in french toast but this is a new twist made with their orange bitters...and it's pretty amazing.
4 slices bread
2 eggs
1/4 cup milk or half and half
1 tsp Angostura orange bitters
powdered sugar
maple syrup or Lyle's golden syrup
orange or lemon slices
Whisk the eggs, milk and bitters in a bowl. Heat a griddle. Dip the bread into the egg mixture - coat both sides - and place on griddle, cooking for about 3 min on each side. Sift powdered sugar over the top and squeeze a slice of lemon or orange on them. If you like use some syrup. This is a bit of a take on the Dutch baby. I found that I didn't want syrup, they were amazing just with the powdered sugar and squeeze of lemon. Oh, wow....very nice.
