The Floral Tonics One Designer Relies on to Stay Balanced - The New York Times

She buys her waters, which come in an array of botanical varieties, from hibiscus to lavender, at Kalustyan’s specialty grocery in Murray Hill — since making them from scratch requires more than typical kitchen equipment — but gathers the rest of her raw ingredients from farmers’ markets in nearby Westchester County, including John Jay Homestead. Any leftover flower extracts are used in recipes like her Persian grandmother’s panna cotta custard, which Sarafpour prepares with rice flour and enlivens with a splash of rosewater.This month, Sarafpour, who ran her eponymous ready-to-wear line between 2001 and 2014 and continues to design custom pieces for private clients, has been making her tonics in batches (“they keep for weeks in the fridge,” she says) to prepare for a busy fall: In November, she will expand her namesake perfume line — also made with flower waters, in single-note distillations — to include a trio of green vetiver, woody oud and bright ylang-ylang essences, which can be layered on the skin for a customized result.Similarly, the beauty of the floral tonics, she says, is that it’s easy to adjust the ingredients depending on the body’s needs and the season. For more spirited occasions, for example, she suggests swapping the water used to dilute each elixir for champagne to create a festive aperitif. Here, Sarafpour shares three recipes that capture the flavors, and medicinal properties, of the garden.Calming Jasmine, Apple & Honey TonicServes 4? 1 cup wildflower or orange blossom honey? ½ cup water? ? cup apple cider vinegar? 1 cucumber, peeled and grated (or 4 smaller Persian seedless cucumbers, which Sarafpour prefers)? 2 teaspoons jasmine water1. In a heavy pot, combine honey, water and apple cider vinegar and simmer on low heat for 20 minutes until everything is combined and reduced to a syrup consi...
