I tried something new today, but something I've had my eye set on for a while now. The asian grocery where I normally go for shopping aside Coles has these little green bottles of drinks. They're made by this company called bottlegreen which is apparently in the UK.
For the longest time I've wanted to try elderflower drink. Well, I bought a bottle of Elderflower Pressé, which is actually pretty damn awesome.
It's very light, has a very tangy but delicate taste and has a very interesting aftertaste. I did some poking around on the internet about it and I found several awesome sounding recipes for elderflower cordial and I'm thinking I may try my hand at them. But for starters, where would I get elderflower? For cheap too!
It's very refreshing but when I first opened the bottle (after finding part of a rubber glove for grip to open the cap), I had a smell and it almost reminded me of something alcoholic. Even the taste now it reminds me of something with alcohol. The first sip or two takes a little getting used to but I'm loving it!
Went to Sofia's for lunch. I'm STILL stuffed! Had to bring home some of the pasta because I couldn't finish it. Ah, woe is I that I don't actually have enough money to throw idly away (Lunch was on dad).
Drinking the pressé very slowly because I don't want the whole bottle to be gone ><
Back to work!
