One of Georgia’s best-known drinks, tarkhun combines a syrup made from fresh tarragon with sparkling water. The herb’s sharp, spicy aroma makes it a favorite for picnics and brunch.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Make the syrup

8 min

Strip the tarragon leaves from their stalks and put them in a saucepan with the sugar and water.

2

Boil and strain

10 min

Boil gently over low heat for 10 minutes, then strain the syrup and leave to cool completely.

3

Finish the drink

4 min

Add the lemon juice to the cooled syrup and divide between glasses. Top up with sparkling water and serve.

Reminder

Let the syrup cool completely before mixing it with sparkling water. Warm syrup makes the water lose its fizz, leaving the drink flat.

Şurubu tam 10 dakika kaynattım, tarhunun rengi güzel bir yeşile döndü ve soda ile karışınca ferahlatıcı oldu.
