Nasturtium Fairy Nectar Food
NASTURTIUM FAIRY NECTAR
Your little Fairy will love serving this enchanting drink at her next midsummer night's garden party. It is also a refreahing little treat for her after a long day of chasing drangonflies and butterflies by the pond. This recipe is from my daughter's favorite Flower Fairies book, Sweet Pea's Garden. This recipe does not include freezing time for the ice cubes.

STUFFED NASTURTIUM FLOWERS
Nasturtium flowers are more than just beautiful, they are delicious! They have a wonderful spicy, peppery flavor, a little like a radish, only sweeter and tangier. In the ingredients it says nasturtium petals, but whole flowers should be used(computer glitch).
