I do specifically recommend the chair I have though. The elegant rockers mean that you can easily shift your weight when sitting, and there's no real weight on the knees at any time.

Maybe.
I have tried two different chairs that looked like this one


Cuppa #4, Golden Needle, China Black that went very well with my lunch (sushi), follows by post lunch cuppa #5, Stomach Fairy err... Pu-Erh aged I mean.

Yes, horrible things. I tried that kind (in shops) and they just don't work. Mine is like this one but with dark red leather upholstery (makes the chair about 70% more expensive, but it lasts much longer than the fabric upholstery).

In my cup: Homemade Elderflower cordial.

nope, I think she liked variety. she was pretty liberated for her time and quite a character. she met one of her husbands when she was working as a wing walker. I think "serial monogamy" might best describe her

As a (mainly) coffee drinker, am I even allowed here...

One and a half litres of water. One and a half kilos of sugar. Mix and heat until the sugar is dissolved, allow to cool.

Thinly slice three lemons. Place in suitable container along with 25 elderflowers and 50g of Citric Acid crystals. Pour the sugar syrup over the other ingredients, cover, and allow to stand for 24 hours in a cool place. Strain through a suitable cloth strainer and bottle into clean, sterilized bottles. Keeps for four to six weeks in a fridge. Makes about 3 litres. Dilute to taste, but probably about 8 to 1, with cold still or sparkling water.

My recipe says that with frozen flowers, just add them to the syrup when it's hot, and then pour syrup and flowers over the rest of the ingredients once cooled down a bit.

(In imperial measures: 3.5lb sugar, 2.5 UK pints (50 fl.oz.) water, 2oz citric acid., makes about 5 UK pints (100 fl. oz.) )

In fact, you can see a video of my son helping me make it...

My Chemistry teacher back in highschool, had a project for the final year for all courses we (2005 prom) did alcoholic destilation; basically liquor.
I did Lemoncello.

Too bad i didn't repeat; because 2006 prom got to do explosive powder.... (black). Totally unfair, don't you think?

Lemoncello is very similar to what pdurrant said:

Same Lts of water on Kgs of sugar; thats the syrup; add 3 lemon skin (only the yelllow, the white one is sour and tasteless and WILL spoil the taste).

Leave 3 weaks all in a closed bottle/container; strain and you 've got a homemade Lemoncello.

Now I'm getting slightly concerned. You have thumb screws and a whip in your house ?! Do I even want to know?

A cup of green Pu-Erh. 20 second infusion + 5 dips.
