One of the key botanicals in Sharish Blue Magic is Clitoria ternatea. More commonly known as Butterfly Pea it is a plant species belonging to the Fabaceae family.

It grows as a vine or creeper, doing well in moist, neutral soil. The most striking feature about this plant is the color of its flowers, a vivid deep blue; solitary, with light yellow markings.
The blue pigment which comes from the Butterfly Pea during the distillation process changes with alterations in pH level (i’e with the addition of acid or alkaline). In the instance of gin and tonic the tonic water contains citric acid which when added to the gin alters the pH level and therefore turns the drink from blue to pink.
Different tonic waters will have different levels of pH and as such you may find when adding tonic water to the gin you will see varying shades of pink in the finished drink depending on what tonic water you use.
In the video below we used 1724 natural tonic water which does have added citric acid in it. A brand like Thomas Henry or one of the others we stock at Hammonds of Knutsford might give a different result.

Reviews for "Grow Your Own Magic: The Power of Broccoli Seeds in Your Garden"

I was really excited to try "Broccoli seeds with a touch of magic", but I was sorely disappointed. First of all, the seeds were not as advertised. They were old and shriveled up, and I highly doubt they would have grown into healthy broccoli plants. Secondly, the supposed touch of magic did absolutely nothing. I followed all the instructions on how to grow the seeds with magic, but there was no difference in the growth or taste of the broccoli. I feel like I wasted my money on a product that didn't deliver what it promised.

I had high hopes for "Broccoli seeds with a touch of magic", but unfortunately, it fell short of my expectations. The broccoli plants did grow, but they were no different from any regular broccoli plants I've grown in the past. The taste wasn't anything special either. I was hoping for some kind of unique flavor or enhancement, but it was just plain old broccoli. The packaging and branding were impressive, but the product itself didn't live up to the hype for me.

I was intrigued by the concept of "Broccoli seeds with a touch of magic", but it didn't live up to its claims. The packet of seeds was quite expensive, and I was expecting something extraordinary. However, the only magic I experienced was the disappointment of average-tasting broccoli. The plants grew fine, but I didn't notice any difference in flavor or nutritional value. I won't be purchasing these seeds again as they didn't provide anything unique or special.
