The perfect summer drink: Kumquat Delight

Kumquats are small, oval citrus fruits that capture summer with their sweet and sour taste and bright color. By combining thyme ice cubes, sparkling mineral water and kumquat syrup, you can conjure up a drink in just a few minutes that couldn't be more refreshing. That's what summer tastes like to us!

Kumquat syrup recipe:

Ingredients:

🍊250 g kumquats

🍊600 g sugar

🍊6 tablespoons lemon juice

Preparation:

For the perfect kumquat syrup that will take your lemonade to the next level, follow these simple steps:

• Preparing the kumquats : Wash the kumquats thoroughly in hot water and then cut them into thin slices.
• Boil the syrup : Put the sugar in a saucepan with 400 ml of water and bring the mixture to the boil. Add the kumquat slices and a dash of lemon juice. Simmer over medium heat for about 20 minutes until the kumquats are soft and the syrup has reached a thick consistency.
• Filling and sealing : Immediately pour the hot syrup into a clean, sterilized jar (e.g. Ripple Mason Jar 1L ) and seal tightly. Turn the jars upside down briefly to ensure they are vacuum sealed. If you turn the jars over after filling them, the air space is heated so much by the heat of the contents that microorganisms have no chance of multiplying there.

Preparation of thyme ice cubes:

To make the lemonade, first prepare the thyme ice cubes. To do this, place thyme sprigs in our stainless steel ice cube tray , fill it with water and let it freeze.
