An isle of lavender thyme
By Gordon ReviveR
The raven haired beauty wandered through the garden, the gentle scent of the lavender whisking her back to a simpler thyme…
- 45ml The Botanist Gin
- 15ml Lime juice
- 15ml simple syrup
- 4 basil leaves
- 1/4 teaspoon fresh thyme
- 1/4 teaspoon lavender
Method:
Add all ingredients to a shake and top with ice. Hard shake and strain into a chilled coupette. Garnish with sprig of thyme.
Foraging notes
On a local path, not far from the bar, there grows a large outcrop of lavender. I then dryed a few sprigs in the dehydrator, then set about exploring the flavours. depending on the potency of the lavender, you may need to add a little extra. Care should be taken with the basil though as it can very easily over power the other ingredients.
