Raspberry Melon Magic

Refreshing Ayurvedic cocktail for warm summer evenings

For your ultimate summer feeling in the garden or on the balcony, our experienced Ayurveda chef Heide Maria Vendler has created a special cocktail - the "Raspberry Melon Magic".

Preparation

Bring water with lemon juice and raw cane sugar to a boil and reduce to 120 ml.

Place basil leaves in a container and pour the hot syrup over them. Let it steep for fifteen minutes.

Then strain the basil syrup and let it cool. In the meantime, finely puree the melon with ginger and cardamom. Puree the raspberries as well and pass them through a sieve.

Pour 40 ml of basil syrup into a cocktail glass. First, add 3 tablespoons of melon puree, then 2 tablespoons of raspberry puree on top.

Pour in 120 ml of mineral water and stir gently with a straw or spoon handle.
