Where in the world do you find geranium syrup?
There are instructions for making geranium syrup in this smoothie recipe. https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1014744-blackberry-lime-smoothie-with-chia-seeds-and-cashews?smid=ck-recipe-android-share
Cut up a bunch of over-ripe strawberries, added a dash of stevia, a glug of coconut milk, and dumped in the last of a bag of chia seeds, dry unsoaked. No measuring whatsoever, and it came out delicious. This is a very forgiving recipe.
Where can I get geranium syrup. No shop sells it.
I used frozen strawberries, water instead of orange juice, and agave syrup. Didn’t soaked the muesli because we have vitamix. Still very good results.
