Strolling through the streets of Europe, you might think that the majority of people are celebrating summer in orange. For 15 years, the Spritz has been the drink that visually evokes Capri sunsets and radiates dolce vita. If you ask the neighbour's children, summer tastes like either cactus or chocolate ice cream. At Porzellan Manufaktur, however, we have a particular soft spot for lemonade à la lavande, a souvenir from France from our dear colleague Karin Goder, who has been the custodian of the main warehouse and the personified archive for 40 years. She not only knows every number of the more than 30,000 moulds into which legs for figures or chandelier parts are poured, but also the recipe to instantly catapult everyone into Provence: mix 1 litre of sparkling water with 150 millilitres of lavender syrup (we swear by the classic from Giffard) and 3 freshly squeezed lemons. Add a handful each of fresh mint, lemon thyme and lemon balm and leave to infuse for around 2 hours. The result: the Côte d'Azur in a glass.
