Makes 1/2 cup The precise temperatures of sous-vide cooking produce consistently good results in less time than it usually takes to infuse bitters. This recipe is designed to work with an immersion circulator/sous-vide device.

MAKE AHEAD: The bitters can stored away from sunlight at a cool room temperature for up to 6 months.

Ingredients 1/4 cup whole coffee beans, preferably dark roast 1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns 6 green cardamom pods, lightly crushed 1/2 cup dark rum 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar

Steps Fill a deep pot with water. Stand the immersion circulator/sous-vide device in it, plug it in and set the temperature at 140 degrees (60 degrees Celsius). Combine the coffee beans, peppercorns, cardamom, rum and dark brown sugar in a quart- size freezer zip-top bag. Seal the bag by using a water displacement method: Place the bag into a sink or deep bowl filled halfway with water. Submerge the bag with only the top exposed; the pressure should force most of the air out of the bag. Once the liquid rises to just below the zipper seal, seal the bag. Once the sous-vide water temperature is Coffee- reached, add the sealed bag so it is submerged. Set the timer to cook for 1 hour. Remove the bag from the water bath. Let the bag cool to room temperature, which should take about 30 minutes.

Cardamom Open the bag and pour its contents through a fine-mesh strainer over a 1/2 pint jar. Discard the solids. Use right away, or seal tightly for storing.

To say she isn’t able to move on would be an understatement,” a source told hollywoodlife.com. “She likes to always be in control and she knows that once the divorce is final- ised she will have no hold over him any more. It’s pretty sad really, seeing as she was the one who wanted the divorce in the first place. I suspect she was actually shocked he didn’t try and fight more for her, her whole plan pretty much back- fired,” added the source. Jolie decided to end the marriage in September. Since then, the two have been in divorce and custody battle. Although the “Maleficent” actress is the one who wanted to split, she is “terrrified Brad will move on and find love with someone new”. “It’s one of those she can’t live with him, and she can’t live without him, things.
