We’ve been talking a lot about harvesting and using yarrow lately, so today, let’s make a Yarrow Margarita!
This recipe requires a little bit of planning ahead. You’ll be making a simple syrup with yarrow flowers, and if you’re going the homemade route, your bitters will need about 3 weeks to infuse.
The bitterness of the yarrow actually work to bring out the sweetness of this unique margarita. If you need a refresher on how to make syrups and bitters, check out our videos linked below ??
