Kew's Teas, Tonics and Tipples is a celebration of the huge diversity of flavour, colour and fragrance plants bring to the drinks we consume. We drink plants every day, from tea and coffee to smoothies and cocktails. A great companion to and following on the success of the bestselling Kew's Global Kitchen Cookbook, Kew brings you recipes for drinks for all occasions, and nine short essays tell the story of how they became part of our everyday life.
Over 80 recipes are included, split into sections covering teas and tisanes; hot winter warmers; boozy iced teas; fresh summer tonics; ciders, beers and wines; botanical cocktails; party punches; fizzy celebration drinks; and shorts and tipples. There are drinks for every taste in this beautiful book, including beetroot wine, meader, vanilla chai, mint and fennel tisane, chilli hot chocolate, pineapple punch, limoncello fizz, chilli martini, rhubarb cordial, marmalade-ade, ginger gin and many more.
The recipes and short essays have been written by a wealth of contributors including Bob Flowerdew, Caroline Craig, Sophie Missing, Susanne Groom, Shelia Keating, Hattie Ellis, Susanne Masters and Kew staff as well as historic recipes from the royal households at Kew, Mrs Beeton and many more.
Throughout the book the recipes are accompanied with materials from the Kew archives, including beautiful colour illustrations of the plants, along with historical black and white photographs and objects from Kew's Economic Botany Collection.
