Double Mint "Water" Bitters

WATER BITTERS: enhances drinking water of all kinds. Plain, sparkling, seltzer or carbonated.
Add 1/4 Teaspoon per quart of water OR add drops directly into your water bottle.
One 3 oz. bottle makes 15 - 18 gallons of flavored water.
Some of my Bitter compounds where created with the intention to give water a light flavoring along with the added benefits of the herbal plants. Many people don't like plain water so these Water Bitters add wonderful light tones that encourage one to drink more water.
Bitters can also be taken before or after meals.
Bitters can be put into water, wine, tea, as a cordial or taken straight up.
