The garden is in full blossom. Mint, calendula, chamomile, melissa ... What I really like is these days is boiling a kettle of hot water over the fire in the garden and make some fresh infusion.
Sometime I mix everything together, sometimes I just make a simple calendula infusion with a little bit of mint, lime and honey. Delicious!

My grandmothers tableware.

Lucky me I got a new pack soba tea from Japan. Soba is buckwheat, soba tea has a hearty and toasty flavor. I like it a lot. Mind you I don't like cooked buckwheat at all.

To celebrate and accompany  this tea I tried these cookies.

The tea sits on the outstanding "Japan towardas total scape" book. One of the most beautiful books I know.

Another absolute classic with us is the Hendrick's Gin Tonic with a few cucumber slices.
Hendrick's gin one can buy at good liquor stores. In switzerland you can buy it in Globus.
Don't even try to make this with an other gin.

When we come home from the beach and the sun is slowly going down it's apero time.
One of your favorite drinks at the moment is Aperol Spritz.

Cool down the glass with some ice. Add the slice of an orange.
Add the the aperol.
Now add a dash of Tonic water and a dash of prosecco.
