The colour-change one
Our signature Lavender Milk goes in ruby and turns lavender violet in the cup.
Naramata Bench Botanicals
Une bouteille, cinq ingrédients, et tout un champ derrière. Lavande et fleur de pois bleu, infusées et filtrées à la main. Un rubis profond qui vire au violet lavande dans le lait chaud. Sans huiles essentielles, sans colorant artificiel.
Ce qu'il contient
Lavender, butterfly pea flower, cane sugar, water and a little citric acid. That is the whole list. Full nutrition facts and specifications, including what we have and have not measured yet, are on their own page. The lavender is our own estate-grown lavender, Grosso (Lavandula × intermedia ‘Grosso’), grown on the Naramata property and steeped as whole buds, never an extract or a flavouring. We strain it and balance it so the lavender reads warm and clean, never soapy. That balance is the hard part, and the part we obsess over.
Butterfly pea flower gives the syrup its colour, no dye. The citric acid keeps it bright and sets the butterfly pea to a deep ruby in the bottle. Stir it into warm milk and the colour runs the other way, blooming to a soft lavender violet.
There is a reason we grow Grosso. It is a lavandin, a cross between English lavender and spike lavender, and it does not taste like the lavender most people have met. Where English lavender is sweet and high floral, Grosso is earthier and warmer, less perfume and more herb. That is the half of lavender that survives a drink. It reads clearly through gin, tonic or coffee, where a softer, more floral lavender turns soapy or simply disappears. We steep whole buds for three minutes, strain them out, and never add extracted essential oil or flavouring to the bottle.
D'où il vient
La lavande pousse sur notre propre demi-acre du Naramata Bench, et le sirop est infusé, filtré et embouteillé ici même, dans l'Okanagan. Rien d'importé, rien de fabriqué à contrat ailleurs, pas une étiquette posée sur le produit de quelqu'un d'autre.
Le sucre de canne, lui, est importé : la canne à sucre ne pousse pas au Canada. La bouteille porte donc la mention « Fait au Canada avec des ingrédients canadiens et importés » plutôt que « Produit du Canada ». C'est la mention honnête, et c'est celle que nous utilisons.
Comment l'utiliser

Bold enough for both. Try a Gin Fizz, a French 75 or a vodka mule.
Every pour works as a mocktail. A Lavender Lemonade or an iced latte is the easy one.
