	<h1>A Quick Technique for Homemade Orange Bitters</h1>


<div id="intro">
Matt Duggan, general manager for LA&#8217;s <a href="http://www.chow.com/places/26089">Lucques</a>, makes bitters by combining the oven-dried peels of four oranges, one pint of vodka, and some cardamom, allspice, coriander seed, and whole clove in a container that he then stores in a cool, dark place. After a month, he strains it and, voilà, homemade bitters! Once you&#8217;ve tried his recipe, explore <a href="http://www.chow.com/stories/11154">the world of bitters according to CHOW</a>.
