I remembered this page when I was knee deep in a sand bunker on the 4th hole of my local golf course….funnily enough, being stranded in a bunker with a bountiful gorse bush behind me was no longer a bad thing!!! Great recipe! Thanks for the inspiration :O)

Mary: The best way to prevent getting pricked is to ‘Pay Attention’ and ‘Be Observant’. ‘Mindfulness’ is a word useful to would-be foragers. Kind of like a meditative state of ‘Focused Presence’.

Oh.My.Gosh.. this recipe is just amazing! I made a batch last week, and my husband, daughter and I are now so addicted we went out to the local moors and gathered a whole shopping bag full of flowers!
We’ve had it as a drink, poured over vanilla ice-cream with strawberries, and mixed it in with smoothies. It also makes an amazing cocktail mixer, with rum added and served over ice. I should imagine it’d make a great sorbet too!
Thank you!
