Hi Penny,

How wonderful to have your own orange tree. I’m guessing you must be somewhere sunnier than I am! I’ve never tried to make my own rose or orange flower water – it’s one of those things that I have always bought ready made from a store. I don’t think it’s impossible to make your own but I think it involves distillation rather than simply infusing cold water with petals. I’m sure some clever folks will have put up some instructions online if you try googling it. Do let me know if you try it out!

I don’t know how to make either, I have an orange tree and also a rose bush. If you would tell me how to make these ingredients I would be very thankful.
Thank you,
Penny Neil

I first tasted fresh figs in my 20s – & was hooked! Last summer my ‘desert king’ fig, (~ 5 or 6 years old?) produced a VERY good crop, & the second crop ripened fully as well – unusual, as they usually show promise, then are hard & not ripe!
My middle granddaughter is QUITE fond of figs, & will eye the tree with longing when she visits.
At their county fair, there’s a large garden planted & maintained by the Master Gardner group in the area, which includes some lovely fat & sweet currents – she stands at the bush, picking handfuls! Fun to see her mirror my love of fruit!
The water kefir recipe suggests adding a fig or two during the first or second ferment! love the touch of rosewater

I was going to make a tart but somehow got distracted- I may just turn at least some of them into this yummy beverage that makes me think of Indian lassi… mmm..
