They have a wonderful clove-like taste, but you must use the real thing - called clove pink or clove carnation. Sipping this with someone you like quite well could move the relationship on to a higher plateau You will need: 1 cinnamon stick petals from about 6 clove carnations (approx. 100g fresh flowers) a pinch of ground ginger 100g brown sugar 500ml spring water a few drops of glycerin sparkling mineral water or lemonade to serve Put the first five ingredients in a saucepan and bring very slowly to the boil, stirring constantly. Reduce the heat and simmer for about ten minutes, when the syrup begins to thicken, remove from the heat and cool. Add a few drops of glycerin, and the mixture will become pinker. Make up your potion by straining about 30ml of this liquid into a glass and topping up with sparkling water or lemonade. If you're not a teetotaler it is also delicious added to champagne - and will turn it a gentle rose color posted by CraftyHedgeWitch to Poleadra's Kitchen The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing.~ Albert Einstein ~ Check Out My Groups: Everything Natural http://health./ Everything Magick EverythingMagick/ -- Version: 7.1.392 / Virus Database: 268.5.5/333 - Release 5/5/2006 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
