INGREDIENTS
½ cup honey
½ cup sherry vinegar
Juice of half a lemon
2 Tbsp. Kaldi’s whole coffee beans
1 sprig fresh thyme
PREPARATION
• In a small pot, bring all the ingredients to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to medium low and simmer 10 minutes, until the gastrique is as thick as honey. Use a small sieve to strain the gastrique into a storage container, allow to cool and seal. The gastrique will keep, refrigerated, up to 2 weeks. When serving after refrigeration, microwave until warm.
