IN the Kitchen NOW
- Magic Lemon Custard CakeWhen baked, one batter transforms into magic lemon custard cake with a light and fluffy top, a rich creamy middle, and a solid custard base. They’re rich, creamy and tart, and melt in your mouth like magic.
- Homemade Tonic water syrupThere’s nothing wrong with the bottles of tonic you find in any grocery store, but once you make homemade tonic, it’s hard to go back. It has so much more flavor! Bursting with citrus, spices, and herbs, it’s the perfect balance of sour, sweet, bitter, herbal and floral. Once you source the ingredients, it’s simple to make and one batch can last you the whole summer (unless you’re us).
