LEMON CURD (BOTTLED/CANNED)
🍋 Lemon curd is a thick, smooth, sweet and tart flavoured spread used to fill cakes, pastries, scones and more. Made with free range eggs, lemons and sugar, this English-style preserve is actually very simple to prepare and can be bottled for the pantry to keep for several months (or frozen for longer storage). Enjoy!

Hibiscus Limeade Recipe 🌺 from my brand new book, The Healing Garden: Cultivating and Handcrafting Herbal Remedies.
This ruby limeade is refreshingly tart and sweet. Hibiscus and lime are companionable, sour in a complementary fashion. If you’ve ever had a hibiscus agua fresca in a traditional Mexican restaurant, served alongside spicy fare, you’re already familiar with the thirst-quenching powers of this herb. Feel free to add a shot of vodka or tequila to your glass.
YIELD: 1/2 gallon
2 cups water, plus more as needed
1 cup packed dried hibiscus flower (Hibiscus sabdariffa)
3/4 to 1 cup whole cane sugar or coconut sugar, to taste
1/2 cup fresh lime juice (from 5 to 6 limes)
4 cups ice, for serving
Lime wedges, for serving
1. In a small saucepan, bring 2 cups of water and the dried hibiscus flowers to a boil. Turn down the heat to medium; simmer, covered, for 20 minutes. Strain into a large measuring cup, pressing the flowers with a spoon. You’ll
end up with less liquid than you started with, which is fine! Add the sugar to the hibiscus tea and stir until dissolved.
2. In a large pitcher or jar, combine the sweetened hibiscus tea and lime juice. Bring the final volume of limeade up to a half gallon by adding ice and cold water. Serve in ice-filled cups with lime wedges.
