So it turns out that I have run out of milk and the weather is doing its best impression of a salt shaker, sprinkling freezing crystals from the sky! So my dilemma while attempting to make tea was do i brave the freezing weather or do i plump for black tea? Then i remembered black tea is the work of the devil and I have a small gin collection. I am sure it is written somewhere, like the magna carter, that when the english run out of tea they must be provided with gin. So today i selected @bloomgin and was in the mood for something fragrant so paired it with some Persian Rose buds from my botanicals box. I am not sure if its bad form not to add a citrus element but i just wanted to experience the gin and the fragrance as they were. The taste was so delicate, floral and sweet but with out being overly so. As i was making a curry while supping this i eventually added a tiny zest of lime, while tasty i would go back to just the roses or maybe try a sprinkle of lemon zest. Either way a great alternative to a boring old cup of tea, its just lucky i like a coffee first thing in the morning ;) #gin #gintonica #ginlover #ginspire #gintonic #bloomgin #ginspiration #gincocktails #mixology #gin #ginmixer #ginmixology #bloom
