What to do with this syrup?

There are 10 grams of 75/25 lactucarium to California poppy in one bottle of our syrup. It also contains citric acid, sugar, orange flower water, and a touch of honey in a 40% alcohol solution. This makes it tart and east to mix with your favorite herbal tea. Simply add a few teaspoons to start. It can also be taken straight, but be sure to bring your best sour face! In tea it adds a tangy flavor and a florid aroma.

California Poppy

Eschscholzia californica, or California poppy, is the beloved state flower of California! It is a member of the papaver family which contains many of the medicinal alkaloids of the poppy plant but contains no morphine. It is a common herb in herbal teas and preparations for its relaxing effects.

 Orange Flower

 snakey

Orange flower water is a byproduct of the manufacture of orange oil essence. The aroma is more perfume like than orange smelling. It's used as an aroma in mediterranean desserts and in other specialty pastries. It only takes ten drops of orange blossom water in a whole liter of syrup to give it a noticeable aroma. In the original recipe of Aubergier there was much more of this component but we toned it down a bit.
