I don't know anyone at all who drinks tonic water without either gin or vodka in it.
Oh, sure you do, FRP.
I got hooked as a kid when I’d get up early after my parents’ parties and cruise the living room looking for plunder and drink all the tonic left in the bottles. Apparently, one bottle was too much for a single G&T because there was at least an inch in each of them
Anyhoo, always with lime. Since I’m not a drinker I can go out with friends and no one will bug me to have ‘just one’. (It amazes me that I’ve been friends with some of these people for 20+ years, they’ve never seen me drink, yet EVERY TIME one of them will do that.)
At the beginning of the lockdown I was making all kinds of things - bread, bagels, donuts. You probably did, too. I looked into making my own tonic water. There were a couple of recipes that claimed success but there were more articles BY FAR saying DON’T DO IT. It’s neither easy nor peasy and the potential consequences of screwing up range from ugly to fatal.
So, I didn’t.
But if this lady thinks citrus peels = cinchona bark, no telling what they’re actually making/using.
