Description
Bees love the Borage. Borage is a big, bushy plant with edible leaves and flowers. Many many small purple and blue flowers that bees can’t get enough of. The leaves taste like cucumber and are best picked young, before they get prickly. The small flowers are sweet and perfect for salads or thrown in now-great-looking cocktails.
Personal favorite? Muddle borage leaves with a little fresh mint and small amount of sugar, add vodka and soda, give it a good squeeze of fresh lemon, and mix in 5-6 borage flowers. A perfectly refreshing summer garden cocktail.
