Refreshing Drink Sirop Léger de Coquelicot – Poppy Flower Syrup

Springtime in Provence brings the promise of fields of wild poppies, impossibly beautiful and challenging to photograph. This recipe for Sirop Léger de Coquelicot (poppy petal flavoured syrup) comes from the kitchen at Domaine Saint – Jacques.

Domaine Saint Jacques Luberon Coquelicots

Once a working farmhouse in the Luberon the property has three (3) self-catered suites with en-suite bathrooms, kitchenettes, air conditioning, and my favourite — Nespresso makers. Surrounding the main house are nine (9) hectares of grapevines and the unspoilt Luberon Valley.  These maison d’hôtes share a pool, and the hosts offer “cuisine sauvage” (natural, seasonal cooking) on demand.
