Yesterday evening I was out collecting leaves for a project I’ve been wanting to do for a few years. For this I want to have the freshest young leaves possible, while they’re still soft so I’ve been going to my local woods on a regular basis, watching the buds open as we head into spring. If you leave it too late in the season, the leaves will turn waxy and then you have to wait another year. I love these seasonal things that you can only do at one time of year; like picking blackberries or slipping the bark off a twig to make a whistle. These leaves are only a day or two old and on small, understory trees; the big mature beeches that seeded them take longer to come into leaf and, when they do, they’re to high up to easily collect. So what’s it all for? Beech Noyau A noyau is a cordial made from brandy, gin, cognac etc. Method: Only use very young beech leaves, freshly stripped from the stem.
