Lemon Balm Lavender Tisane

Lemon balm is a member of the mint family, but its bright, lemony scent is immediately recognizable and makes a super-refreshing iced tisane.

Mint Shiso Tisane

With hints of fennel and also a spicy note, like cinnamon, shiso adds complexity to the classic, cooling mint tea.

Raspberry and rose are a natural combination, and not just in grandma's yard. Dried petals from rose tea soften in the juice of red raspberries. The result is this jewel-toned jam, a balance of sweet, tart, and floral flavors perfectly suited to your next batch of scones or shortbread for afternoon tea.

Scooped: Jasmine Tea and Rose Petal Sorbet

After my Thanksgiving excesses, I needed to atone. I also needed to shake my head clear of the pumpkin-spiced everything clouding my culinary imagination. This sorbet was as easy to make as a pitcher of iced tea, but much more refreshing.

The Rose

Rescued from a vintage bar menu by cocktail historian David Wondrich, the Rose enjoyed a brief flash of popularity at the Chatham Hotel in Paris in the 1920s.

Raspberry and Rum Iced Tea

A refreshing cooler of raspberry scented iced tea spiked with rum.

Rosemary Salt

The best way to make rosemary salt is to dry fresh rosemary then grind into a powder and mix with salt. Best flavour and lovely green colour!

Blackberry, Grapefruit, and Sage Infused Water
