Notes:
The recipe does not state the quantity of Sultana raisons, bor does it indicate how much "browned sugar" to add. I'm assuming that the term "browned" indicated caramelized sugar, as opposed to standard brown sugar. But I could be wrong.

Bitterblend consists of milk thistle, burdock, dandelion, barberry, fennel, licorice. Unknown ratio.
