Orange Cardamom Bitters, Any ideas on how to make this better?

Enhance Flavor Profiles:

Increase the amount of cardamom: Add an additional 1/4 teaspoon of cardamom seeds for a more pronounced spice flavor.
Use fresh orange zest: Replace the dried orange peel with freshly grated zest from 1-2 oranges for a brighter citrus flavor.
Add a hint of vanilla: Incorporate a small amount of vanilla extract or vanilla bean to balance the spices and add sweetness.

Refine Technique:

Use a finer strainer: Strain the bitters through a cheesecloth-lined sieve to remove any sediment and improve clarity.
Stir regularly: Continuously stir the bitters while steeping to ensure even extraction of flavors.
Steep for longer: Extend the steeping time by a few days up to a week for a more intense flavor.

Add Additional Ingredients:

Sweeten with honey: Add 1-2 teaspoons of honey to the bitters for a touch of sweetness and to balance the bitterness.
Infuse with spices: Add a cinnamon stick or a few cloves to the steeping mixture for additional spice notes.
Use a different alcohol base: Experiment with different alcohol bases such as vodka, whiskey, or brandy for varying flavor profiles.

Other Tips:

Use high-quality ingredients: Choose organic and flavorful ingredients for the best results.
Store properly: Keep the bitters in a tightly sealed glass container away from direct sunlight to preserve their flavor.
Experiment with flavors: Don’t be afraid to experiment with different combinations of spices, fruits, and other ingredients to create unique flavor profiles.
