Magnolias have a surprisingly gingery flavour, with citrus and cardamom undertones.

‘I wandered lonely as a cloud That floats on high o'er vales and hills, When all at once I saw a crowd, A host, of golden daffodils; Beside the lake, beneath the trees, Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.’ I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud, by William Wordsworth There's that Spring feeling There’s just something […]
