Juniper & Tonic Recipe:

PREP 5 mins
COOK 10 mins
HEAT 0
Serves 4

You Need:

1 lemon - zested then halved for juicing

1 litre sparkling water, soda water or lemonade
Ice cubes and extra slices of lemon and/or cucumber to serve (optional)
1 portion of J & T BLEND

Method:

Crush the J & T BLEND slightly with a rolling pin or heavy pan to release the flavour from the juniper berries and cardamon seeds
Boil the juice and zest of the lemon with the sugar, 200ml water and the J & T BLEND in a covered pan for 5 minutes or until the sugar has completely dissolved
Strain the mixture into a jug (discarding the lemon zest and J & T BLEND) then leave to cool
