Summary

Kombucha is a fermented drink (made using tea, sugar, a simple bacteria and yeast) that is known for its health-giving properties. It is experiencing a resurgence in popularity, along with the trends for home-fermenting, preserving and enjoying 'living' foods.
Louise Avery began brewing kombucha in 2010 as part of a self-sufficient and healthy lifestyle, living on a Scottish Island in the Hebrides, simply because she loved its unique and more-ish taste. Now she is one of London's best-connected kombucha producers. Here she reveals her tried-and-tested recipes that use the freshest produce to create truly delicious cold teas. Starting with an introduction to kombucha, Louise offers information on the types of tea you can use to flavour your kombucha, the health benefits of drinking it, the essential equipment you will need to brew your own and the dos and don'ts when it comes to selecting other ingredients. Following this, she presents a step-by-step basic process for brewing kombucha, bottling and storing and controlling the yeast. Recipes are then organised by type of base: 'Fruit', with recipes for Blood Orangeade, Pear and Ginger, Pomegranate and Lime, a Cranberry Cleanse and Blueberry Lemonade; 'Vegetable', including Sour Rhubarb Fizz, Striped Candy Beetroot and Lime, and a Virgin Mary. Next up, 'Flower' has ideas for Hibiscus Kombucha, Rose Petal Tea, Lavender Love and a Hoppy Pale Ale, while 'Herb, Spice and Tea' is where things heat up with Lemongrass Tea and two Turmeric Immune Boosters as well as Jasmine Kombucha and a Lychee Basil 'Mojito'. You'll be spoilt for choice for ways to flavour this health-giving drink.

    Aromatic, refreshing, delicious and a FEAST FOR THE EYES, the generously-sized and creatively garnished 'gin tonica' Spanish-style drink has taken the COCKTAIL WORLD by storm.

This simplest of drinks – just GIN, TONIC, ICE and a garnish – is considered the national drink of Spain.

With more gin brands and styles of tonic available than ever before, and 40 INSPIRED RECIPES here to try at home, there has never been a better time to discover the joy of the gin tonica – saludos!

Spaniards love their gin and tonics. In Spain, the bartender doesn't ask you what you want to drink, he asks you how you want your gin and tonic prepared! The trend started in the north of Spain, in Basque country, where you can walk into a bar and upon ordering you are presented with a cart teeming with gin and tonic options to create your very own bespoke drink. A beautiful cocktail with a variety of herb and flower garnishes, a Spanish-style gin and tonic or 'gin tonica', is made with a premium gin and the best quality tonic water, combined with bitters and various herbs, spices, flowers and fruits that will complement the botanicals of a specific gin. It is served over ice in an oversized balloon glass – the idea being that the shape enables the drinker to enjoy all the lovely aromas their drink gives off. For a cocktail with only two ingredients, the flavour potential is staggering!

    Who doesn’t enjoy a nice, hot cup of tea? A pastime of the kings, drinking tea has always been synonymous with afternoon relaxation and great conversation. What you might not realize is that tea, besides being delicious, also has therapeutic powers. That’s right! Herbal tea, especially, has been used for centuries as a natural remedy for various ailments, and it’s making a big comeback. 
Herbal tea is created by steeping or decocting herbs, spices, or other plant materials, as opposed to traditional tea derived from the Camellia sinensis plant. It contains no caffeine and has been a natural remedy for thousands of years, dating back to ancient cultures in China, India, and Egypt. Many herbs used back then are still used for their healing properties today. Chamomile tea, for example, has anti- inflammatory and anti-anxiety properties, whereas ginger tea is famous for aiding digestion and reducing nausea. 
Herbal teas provide numerous health advantages! They reduce stress and anxiety, improve digestion, promote better sleep, reduce inflammation, and promote healthy skin.
