Chef's Tip
You can play around
with wood flavors
and drink combinations.
Each type of wood has its
own unique smoke flavor.
Directions:
- Place the glass in the freezer for 20-30 minutes or until chilled.
- Place Cedar plank on a fire-proof surface (we used a metal cookie sheet).
- Turn on butane torch and burn small area of plank until it catches fire (approximately 1-inch diameter). Make sure to have a spray bottle of water handy, in case the flame gets out of control.
