I.C. Fennel Cordial
Infusing flavors into a spirit at room temperature can take weeks, which means you have to wait quite a while to discover whether you got it right. Because we can maintain the perfect extraction temperature, an immersion circulator can shorten weeks to just 1 hour. Try out this mouthwatering miracle with my fennel cordial, an herbal tipple that tastes kind of like licorice. This recipe first appeared in Season 1 of Good Eats: The Return.
