Tools
Uses an open flameA step here involves a lit match or a torch near citrus oil or alcohol, both of which catch. Work away from anything that can burn, keep the bottle well back from the flame, never flame anything over a glass you are holding, and never add alcohol to something already alight. Expect a brief flare — that is the point of the technique — and give it room.
