How we make it
We pick fresh fig leaves from the trees on the farm and brew them into a tea. The tea goes into the spirit, and our honey sweetens it. The leaves give it a coconut flavour, which nobody expects. We usually drink it with tonic or Grapetiser. A little sediment may form. That’s just the honey separating.
Cooking with it? Our pork fillet with figs and our fig and goat’s cheese salad are on cooking with honey.
