Servings 1 serving

Ingredients

Honey Chamomile Syrup

  • 1 ½ cups water
  • 1 cup sugar
  • ½ cup honey
  • ½ cup dried chamomile

The Vanir's Chamomile Mead Elixir

  • 1 ½ oz mead
  • 1 oz gin
  • ¼ oz B&B liqueur
  • 1 oz Honey Chamomile Syrup
  • ½ oz lemon juice

Instructions

Honey Chamomile Syrup

  • Begin by preparing the syrup. Combine the water, sugar, and honey in a small saucepan. Place over high heat and bring to a simmer. Stir occasionally until the sugar is completely dissolved. When the syrup comes to a simmer, add the dried chamomile. Let simmer gently for a minute then remove from the heat. Cover and let steep for 20 to 30 minutes.
  • After steeping, strain the syrup and discard the chamomile. Let the syrup cool completely before using. The syrup will make enough for 10 to 12 cocktails and keep for 2 to 3 weeks in the fridge.

The Vanir's Chamomile Mead Elixir

  • In a cocktail shaker add the mead, gin, B&B, honey chamomile syrup, and lemon juice. Add ice, then cover and shake for 10 to 15 seconds. Strain into a coupe glass. Garnish with fresh flowers and serve!
