Chapter 1: The Art of Brewing Bitterness
Legend has it that the ancient art of bitter brewing was born from the tears of the gods. It was said that the goddess of murder, Circe, wept tears of the most bitter of herbs, and thus, the art was born.
The ancient brewers of old would often say, "A bitter cup is a cup half full, but mostly empty." Little did they know, this was more than just a phrase.
Brewing bitter was an art form, not just a method of making tea. It required skill, patience, and a pinch of murder.
So, if you're looking for a brew that's not just a brew, but a murder most foul, look no further than the ancient art of bitter brewing.
But be warned, my friend, this art is not for the faint of heart. It takes a special kind of person to master the art of bitter brewing.
Are you that person? If so, then let us begin our journey together, into the world of bitter brewing.
