Spanish Needles Lilikoʻi Hot Shots

INTRODUCTION

We’re grateful to Kyra Bramble, owner and chef at , for this recipe. Here’s what she says about it, “This hot shot recipe has become a staple in my kitchen, and with the addition of Spanish Needles it’s a super potion. It knocks out a cold, soothes a voggy body, and makes an easy base for a unique cocktail. It calls for all local Hawaiian ingredients – both foraged and cultivated. I’m unsure of the shelf life as it’s never lasted long enough to go rancid, but I’ve had it in my fridge for weeks and it’s always been fine.”
