Things I Love

Why didn't I know about this earlier?

This artisanal syrup from Morris Kitchens is a leap forward for lemon.  It's not merely fresh and bright, but also complex, with a sneaky, slightly salty undertone and a mysterious flavor that turns out to be the prickly voice of pink peppercorns mingled with the soothing tones of cardamom.

Add a splash of iced fizzy water and you've got a cool refreshing drink. With hot water it turns into excellent tea. And I find it's very nice in marinades, in salad dressings – and it adds an interesting quality to Asian dips.  (Try it with soy sauce and ginger for summer rolls.)

Summer just got easier.
