I stumbled across Reece Carter’s book, The Garden Apothecary, one day on my travels. It was immediately love at first sight.
The author, Reece Carter is a naturopath by trade, and it shines through in each recipe. Reece also touches on how to grow your own herbs and uses raw and natural ingredients in all recipes.
I am terrible in the kitchen, luckily The Garden Apothecary is filled with the easiest of recipes!
Below is the recipe for the Peppermint Belly Jellies. I don’t think I added enough gelatine (vegan) as they were a little slimy but they tasted amazing plus were the most gorgeous shade of green. I felt healthy just looking at them.
Reece even suggests serving them after dessert if you have friends around, and I agree the Peppermint Belly Jellies would be the perfect way to end dinner!
