1/2 ounce Poli Miele Honey Grappa liqueurĬombine ingredients, along with ice, in a shaker tin.Remove from heat, drain through a chinois or sieve, bottle, and store in the refrigerator. The color will pop and add a great dimension to your cocktails. If you want a brightly hued syrup like mine, add about five blueberries. Add the lilac flowers and simmer for 10 minutes. I wasn’t quite sure how I would use this, but I definitely knew a cocktail was in order! Like other simple syrups, combine the water and sugar over medium heat on the stove. I started my lilac obsession this afternoon, by making some lilac simple syrup. 1 cup lilac flowers, stems and green parts removed.My mind was racing with ideas to use and preserve these beautiful spring flowers. I immediately got up from the computer and clipped about 15 more bunches. While perusing the posts on Punk Domestics, I came across a lovely post on lilac blossom scones. I was determined to capture the freshness spring, despite Mother Nature’s wintry rebellion.Īlong with taking photographs of the spring garden, I clipped a few bunches of lilac blossoms, so that we could savor their aroma over the next few days. I pouted, put in an exercise DVD, pounded some coffee, and rolled up my sleeves. Temperatures hovering around 30 degrees and snow accumulations of up to ten inches were promised over Mother’s Day weekend. And when our lilacs started to bloom a couple of days ago, I was beyond elated. I was so excited that our tulips lasted so long this spring, unlike last year. The recent snowstorm had me hustling: draping outdoor seedlings with pots, blankets, and plastic sheeting dragging in the potted plants setting up an indoor tomato seedling station and harvesting ready-to-pick herbs, as fast as I could. I talk about the weather a lot here on this blog, but it is a very important component to our garden, our kitchen happenings, and the joy we share in our house. Or you can mope, waste your energy worrying, and miss out on the chance for innovation. You can take in the good aspect of a scenario, let go of the bad, and create something beautiful.
I love how circumstances pop up and give you the opportunity to react.
