Herbert’s hot recipe book: Ginger & Camomile

Zuzana Fajta • 30. December 2016

After the classic combination of Ginger & Hibiscus we created a limited winter version of Ginger syrup with Camomile.

As we love ginger, we wanted to create a more tender version of it. For those who want to enjoy the delicious taste and the smell of camomile, fresh ginger, lemon grass and bee honey combined with the cane sugar, is this syrup like a balm for the soul.

Preparation of all recipes is very easy and fast. Just create the flavour and enjoy your drink!

All recipes are mixed in the same dilution ratio as cold lemonades (1:10). We recommend using 80°C water for the preparation of hot drinks to avoid getting burned.

Do not hesitate to use fresh herbs, slices of fresh or dried fruit to make the drink according to your possibilities and taste. Finally, put all ingredients into the glass, pour hot water, stir, garnish and the delicacy is ready.

Pour Borovička or gin, lemon juice and syrup to pre-cooled long glass, add ice and top up with soda. Stir well, add lemon peel, garnish with ginger slices and a meadow sage branch.
