Here’s What Chef Alex Has Going On In the Kitchen Today…

Are you already missing the lilacs?
Even though it wasn’t long ago that the lilacs were in bloom, many of them are already done for the year…
But the essence and aromatics can live on!
One way to capture and re-delight in the soft, floral and sweetly nostalgic scent of lilac is through a hydrosol.
💜
Spritz the air, infuse your space with the lovely lilac any time, of any day, in any season.
The elegant and ephemeral essence of lilac can be preserved in the botanical waters known as hydrosol.
Hand-harvested fresh local lilacs were stream distilled in house using our copper Alembic still to produce a very small run with limited supply.
See webstore or shop to get yours or for the lilac lover in your life

Superfoods are a way to flip that equation
