Description
Shiso leaves are so versatile and can be used for a range of infusions. To create a simple Shiso infusion, start by adding a handful of fresh Shiso leaves to a pitcher of water. For a more potent flavour, lightly bruise the leaves before adding them to release their aromatic oils. Allow the mixture to steep in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight for a deeper infusion. This Shiso-infused water serves as a refreshing drink on its own, or you can use it as a base for sophisticated cocktails and mocktails. The subtle hints of anise, cumin, and cinnamon in Shiso leaves will bring a delightful and unexpected twist to your beverages.
