Because it has been a very good year for sloes, we’ve decided to make some sloe gin again. We haven’t made any since we’ve been in France. LSS also started a batch of peach leaf wine. This is simply some cheap red wine, to which is added some sugar, strong alcohol, and a handful of peach leaves. It is then left to marinate for a few months.
Not to be outdone, I started a batch of ginger beer from a recipe found online. My mother used to make this stuff; I only hope I can tweak the recipe so that it tastes as good as hers used to be!
you guys are busy busy busy. I want to make some whiskey (one day)
It’s not as easy as it sounds…. wait for the next couple of blog posts for more details!
