Unlike most DIY kit companies we don't sell expensive refills packs for our kits. We'd encourage taking the knowledge you have gained by making our kits and customising the recipes to your own tastes. The recipes below are a good point to start from.
We'd love to see any new flavours or blends you come up with, so please do share them on social media @sandyleaffarm and using the #sandyleaffarm.
Small (one batch kit)
Rather than replicating our original blend, we’d recommend using a mixture of spices and fresh citrus peel. The fresh peel should give a more pronounced citrus flavour with a bit more punch than the dried peel we use in the botanical base. When peeling your citrus fruits, we find that long strands cut using a vegetable peeler work best.
Per 750ml batch:
- Peel of 1/4 an orange
- Peel of 1/2 a lemon
- 1/2 tsp allspice
- 1/2 tsp coriander seeds
- 1 inch section of fresh lemongrass (optional, this can be quite a strong flavour)
Ultimate (eight or ten batch kits)
You can recreate a blend similar to the 'botanical base' included in the kit using the ingredients below. The quantities below are equivalent to one 'large scoop' in the recipes. To scale the quantities down for one 'small scoop', just divide the recipe below by half.
- Peel of 1/4 an orange
- Peel of 1/4 a lemon
- 1/2 tsp allspice
- 1/2 tsp coriander seeds
