Chaotic Coffee Klatch (tea also available)

I am probably contractually required to make boob pic requests also.. 🤣🤣🤣

You have an amazing photogenic eye, and you are in my homeland.

I left years ago but still feel connected to the land. I can not move back because the politics make me suicidal, truly. I agree with parts of both sides, and hate both sides at the same time because they strive to divide. Please, somebody drop a piano on me. I cannot deal with all this hate.
Sending you hugs.
I haven't been posting much in my Cascadia thread.
That happens I think when I am needing to distract myself elsewhere
 
As promised @cascadiabound :

Homemade Old Fashioned Mix

Ingredients:
· ¾ cup rye whiskey, such as Sazerac Rye or Jim Beam Rye
· Scant ½ cup Angostura bitters
· 2 ½ cups Turbinado or other raw sugar
· 5 whole cloves
· 7 allspice berries
· 2 star anise

Method:

Heat whiskey and bitters in a small pot over medium heat until warm. Add cloves, allspice, and star anise. Gradually add sugar, stirring constantly, until it’s incorporated. Bring to a boil for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly, or until sugar is completely dissolved.

Remove from the heat, let cool slightly. Add 2 shots rye to help preserve your
syrup. Strain and funnel into a sanitized bottle or Mason jar. Store in the refrigerator.


For a superb Old Fashioned:
Add ice to an old fashioned glass. Put 1-2 tablespoons of Homemade Old Fashioned Mix over ice. Add 2 shots brandy or rye whiskey. Top off glass with soda of your choice, stir.

Enjoy!

*Note: If sugar crystalizes, heat jar in the microwave, stirring occasionally until sugar redissolves. You can add a few tablespoons of water if necessary.
This is awesome. Will definitely give it a try. Thanks!

Cloves are the unopened flower bud of an evergreen tree, boasting pungent, woody, sweet and almost peppery flavor that pairs well alongside sweet and savory cuisine.
  • Reddish to dark brown
