Instructions

Embrace the rich traditions of the Anglo-Saxon era with Meadow Whisper, a cocktail that pays homage to the early English landscape, celebrating the ingredients native to the time. It is a harmonious blend of honey, herbs, and fruits that were staples in the Anglo-Saxon diet, presenting a taste that is both authentic and refreshingly modern. Served in a traditional clay cup to enhance its historical roots, Meadow Whisper offers a journey back in time with each sip. Ingredients: - 50ml Mead (honey wine), the cornerstone of Anglo-Saxon fermentation - 20ml Sloe gin, for a touch of fruitiness and a nod to the wild berries of English hedgerows - 10ml Elderflower cordial, capturing the essence of English summers - Freshly squeezed juice of half a small apple, a staple fruit of the period - A small pinch of dried nettle (safe for consumption), symbolizing the wild foraging traditions - Ice cubes, optional for a modern chilled version - A sprig of fresh thyme or rosemary for garnish Instructions: 1. If using, place several ice cubes into the clay cup to chill. 2. In a shaker, combine the mead, sloe gin, elderflower cordial, and apple juice. Lightly crush the dried nettle between your fingers to release its aroma and add it to the shaker. 3. Shake well to combine the flavors, imagining the blending of ancient traditions with the present. 4. If used, discard the ice from the clay cup, then strain the mixture into the cup, ensuring a smooth pour. 5. Garnish with a sprig of thyme or rosemary, paying tribute to the Anglo-Saxons' use of herbs both in cooking and for their supposed medicinal properties. Enjoy the Meadow Whisper as a connection to the past, a drink that captures the spirit of the Anglo-Saxon era with every ingredient chosen for its authenticity and historical significance.
