    Distilling Herb Heaven

    June 17, 2018

    Recently I was lucky enough to spend a day in the company of Dan Wheals of  Herbaculture CIC  and Jon Tyler of  Wild for Woods. We were on the hunt for herbs to use as gin botanicals.

  • Looking forward to a good read this weekend 🤓
  • Six weeks ago I bunged a handful of gooseberries into some gin in a kilner jar to see how it would turn out. Rather well as it happens. I wasn’t sure the gooseberries would give up any flavour but they did! I have paired the infused gin with a dash of @bottlegreendrinks elderflower cordial and @fevertreemixers elderflower tonic with a lemon slice and it’s quite tasty 😋 Memories of early summer in a glass. Will definitely make again.
  • Monday night tipple with Dry Island Gin from @fourpillarsgin and @hernogin and @fentimansltd Valencia orange tonic, garnished with orange, blueberries and lemon balm ~ I didn’t have any lemon myrtle. I love the combination with the orange tonic. But I’m a sucker for Valencia oranges 🍊
  • Something to aspire to in my clear ice experiments 😂
  • This month’s @craftginclub box is a corker. Can’t wait to try the Dry Island Gin, a collaboration between @hernogin and @fourpillarsgin. A collaboration across the hemispheres promises to be something special. Two bottles of @fentimansltd Valencian orange tonic water, which I love, Tyrell’s @poshcornuk , @greenandblacks assorted dark chocolate collection (drool), two of @whitworthsuk shots, berry & white chocolate and nuts with a touch of chilli (I’ll be hiding those) and a cute little cocktail book from Four Pillars. I shall be busy this evening 🍸
  • The result of our first experiment in making clear ice at home without an ice machine. We used our chest freezer, a tub and a sous vide stick to create a bit of directional flow. We’re happy with the results so far but will keep on with a few more experiments. The ice blocks are actually quite big. About the size of a satsuma. Although they look smaller in the pic.
  • @nordesgin this evening with @fevertreemixers Mediterranean tonic, apple, mint and a blueberry ice cube 🍸
  • Having fun in the kitchen this evening making cilantro, lemon and chilli ice bombs as well as lots of fruity ice cubes. Anticipating a hot weekend ☀️
  • The ‘during’ photo of my Pop Up Gin Club. What a bunch of lovely ladies. It was great fun serving up the gin to such friendly ginthusiasts. No ‘after’ photo as I was putting my feet up with a large G&T 🍸
