Tipsy Daisy
Imagine yourself in a field of flowers. It's the best day of your life. Surrounded by loved ones, soaking up California sunshine and overwhelmed with joy. What would you like to sip on? While dreaming up my wedding cocktail I wanted to create something bright, Spring forward and crowd pleasing to celebrate the day. Using Floral Sonnets as the foundation was an easy start, especially since I happen to be getting married in a field of flowers! This herbal tea blend has been a long time favorite. It's sweet from chamomile, and warm from a melody of spices like ginger, cinnamon and Honeybush tea. Taking advantage of my California locale, I added muddled sweet strawberries and Meyer lemon juice to make it shine.The cocktail gets its boozy name because of its chamomile base. Did you know that chamomile was in the daisy family? In the spirit of making a drink that everyone could enjoy, a batch of the simple syrup was left on the side to mix up any drinks for guest that preferred a dry cocktail. The syrup is easy to batch - just add a splash of seltzer before serving.The only thing missing from our special day was our little muppet, Stoli. She doesn't like to fly. So although I'm a gin girl I strategically chose Stoli vodka as a nod to our pup, making it more personal and smooth to drink.

Rosy Yogurt Bark
No wonder yogurt bark has gone viral! It tastes like you are indulging and no cooking is involved. All you need is a sheet pan and yogurt at the base. Here I tried to mimic the flavors of granola by using crunchy almonds and dates for sweetness. It makes the perfect snack with added fruitiness from raspberries and the mix of creamy and cold frozen yogurt. Since we always spice it up, we sprinkled in Roses, which make this snack beautiful and taste like a fancy dessert.

Noon Chai
Tackling new culinary challenges is one of my great joys, and I'm always on the lookout for new techniques to try. As it happens, I also love all things floral and pink so when I came across this Noon Chai, it went to the top of my list. Traditionally made for brides on their wedding day or for special occasions, the drink gets its beautiful color from aerating the green tea and adding a pinch of baking soda. The two react, creating a deep rouge color. Never did I realize that a cup of tea would require such a technique! After several failed attempts on mastering this delicacy, luck would have it that a wonderful customer at the spice shop gave me some important tips!The result was unlike any cup of tea I've ever had. The tea is creamy, floral and scented with Green Cardamom Pod, Star Anise and Roses — with just a little Himalayan Pink Salt. We garnished the tea with pistachios, rose petals and a star anise, making it a tasty afternoon treat. The marriage between sweet and salty is just perfect.A special thanks to Hassaan Arshad, for sharing his Mom's technique and giving me the tools to master this treat!
