Spice, sweet, fizz, gin. It’s nearing the end of the season, and as always, there is this problem of letting go. Which means, there has been an overload of mangoes, mango chutney, mango rice, mango everything – and why should my Sunday cocktail not be left behind?

This is the perfect change up from the classic G&T, with fresh sweet mangoes, spicy ginger, some strong black tea, sweet honey and of course, the star, the gin. This is great to go along with fried pakoras, tikkas, and you know all of that delicious naughty stuff that make for the perfect Sunday evening.

Psst… you know, you can also use grated raw mango pulp in place of ripe mango, muddled really well and strained into the honey, ginger and tea mix!

You know what this feels like? Christmas in a bottle! This warm spiced syrup is speckled with peppery rosemary, bright oranges, and hints of spicy ginger and warm cinnamon and cloves – exactly what you want on a quiet winter night. I made this syrup using khadi sakar (raw sugar powder) since I had it lying around, and also makes me feel a tad-bit less guilty of the sweetener choice, and indulge in a side of the Christmas cake!

Bees Knees + Honey Syrup

Thirst Quenchers Yes, a new home, for me means a few extra happy hours in the week – because there’s always a reason to celebrate A classic gin cocktail is a bees knees cocktail – one that originates from Prohibition Era – or so the story goes. Speakeasies had homemade alcohol kept in bath tubs for service and to reduce the strong taste and aroma of the alcohol, honey and lemon were added. Now of course, it’s by choice! Honey syrup though, is ridiculously easy thing to make and store in the fridge, because this is also a healthier sweetener option for iced teas and other drinks you need sugar for! The Recipe Serves Ingredients Honey Syrup: 100g honey 100g hot water Cocktail: ¼ cup gin 1 ½ tbsp lemon juice 1 tbsp honey syrup ice optional: fresh sage / lavender bitter / bitter orange bitter / lemon peel Instructions Honey Syrup: Simply stir together to thin out the honey Store in a glass bottle and refrigerate Cocktail: In a shaker, add the honey syrup, lemon juice and gin, and give it a stir (in the shaker, add any other flavouring add-ons as listed above) Add ice and shake Pour into a cold glass

Calming Latte

Thirst Quenchers Our Calming Brew is a multi-tasking one, as you’ve seen the past few posts. The chamomile flower has intense sedating powers to help calm the nervous system, relax the mind and soothe the soul. Lavender is equally as powerful and when they are put together – it is a force to reckon with. Infusing the brew into milk offers a floral latte, sweetened with a little bit of honey and vanilla. This recipe is a milk-based latte – which is an ideal bedtime drink, but also works wonders as a morning sip for those days when you wake up anxious, stressed and overthinking everything in life! The Recipe Serves Serves: 1 | Time: 20 mins Ingredients 1 cup milk of your choice (whole, skim, soy, oat, nut) 2 tsp Calming Brew 1 tsp Eucalyptus Honey ½ tsp vanilla extract Instructions Put the milk and brew together in a small saucepan and place on low heat Allow the milk to come to a gentle simmer, never to boiling point Strain the milk through a sieve into your serving mug Stir in honey and vanilla Serve NOTE: for vegans, use dairy-free milk option and substitute honey with agave syrup, coconut sugar or maple syrup
