Barman’s tips
Cardamom agave syrup: put 5 crushed cardamom pods in a saucepan with 18cl of water. Bring to the boil then take off the heat. Leave to rest and cool. Mix 120g of agave syrup with 6cl of the cardamom water.
Thyme essence: add 3g of fresh thyme to 12cl of vodka. Vacuum seal and cook at 60°C for 1h30 or put in a firmly closed bottle and put through the dishwasher.
