“After some experimentation, we put hot water in a measuring cup and dissolved the honeysuckle nectar by swirling the stems around. When we were done with all the flowers, I tasted the golden liquid; it was sweet and fragrant. There wasn't much of the solution, though- we'd have to make a very small batch if we wanted the honeysuckle to be noticeable. We measured out the dry ingredients and Vik whisked in a pinch of ground cloves while I creamed the butter with the sugar, and then added honey. We poured in the honeysuckle nectar and combined everything. Vik and I tasted the dough: it was sweet and spicy, the flavors in perfect harmony.” IngredientsCookiesBakingFlavor CombosHoneysuckle Book:Midsummer's Mayhem Source: Midsummer's Mayhem
“They smelled fresh, green, chocolaty, and citrusy. After the cookies had cooled, I tasted one. Now, this was how I liked to bake. The sea salt set off the sweetness of the chocolate, and the tangerine zest woke up all the flavors. The thyme was subtle but definitely noticeable.” CookiesFlavorsHerbal Book:Midsummer's Mayhem Source: Midsummer's Mayhem
“These smell incredible." Cole sniffed a cookie. "What kind are they?" "Cinnamon-honey with a twist," I said. "Vik and I added honeysuckle we found in the woods." "Quite over-canopied with luscious woodbine, with sweet musk-roses and with eglantine," said Henry, taking a couple.” QuoteCookiesMidsummer Nights Dream Book:Midsummer's Mayhem Source: Midsummer's Mayhem
