This is not an herb recipe but seems close enough especially considering Herbal- Roots little herb farm waits patiently for the first shoots and buds of early spring. The Eastern Redbud tree is abundant in southern Missouri, and they are one of the first things to bloom. The vibrant pink blossoms take over the landscape. They are part of the pea family and taste vegetal, like peas with little floral highlights and a tinge of sour. They are one of the most beautiful ingredients to work with. They can be eaten raw or cooked and are high in Vitamin C and protein.

This Gin Fizz rendition will delight you if you are anywhere near these vibrant trees in early spring.
