Is your favourite ice cream flavour a little more unusual? Is the nearest ice cream parlour too far away? Or your appetite for ice cream is too big to wait? These are three good reasons to make your own ice cream - apart from the flavour, of course. Basically, a simple ice cream flavour such as vanilla is enough, which you can vary as you wish to make gelato alla nocciola, stracciatella or Malaga ice cream, for example. With this in mind, what are you waiting for?

The classic iced tea is a black tea refined with peach or lemon. In our recipe, we use the organic Berry Pomp fruit tea blend as the base ingredient, which boasts a brilliant array of flavors including hibiscus, rose petals, wild berries, blueberries and cherries. The fruity sweetness is provided by a vinegar-based syrup with the intense aroma of fully ripe raspberries. The Indian tonic water made from hand-picked botanicals gives the iced tea a citrusy, slightly tart note.

Summer is here and with it the time for fruity delicacies. The lemon tart is a special treat for the palate (and a feast for the eyes). It combines a golden-brown baked shortcrust pastry with a fresh, fruity filling. Buttery and crumbly and creamy, sweet and tart at the same time, every bite is a feast for the senses. A delight to share with friends and family, and the perfect accompaniment to a refreshing iced tea or a cool glass of white wine.
