Re: Just for fun
I'll have a double with tonic please barkeep! 
Not being in a position to distil I'd be tempted to throw all the herbs, flowers and spices into a jar along with a bottle of vodka & leave for a couple of weeks, maybe add a little wine afterwards to give a bit of 'vinous' character.
Now then, where to find some Mithridate...

Certainly seems to be a bit of a sticking point. The best way would be to get Jamie Oliver or St Delia to use it in some recipe for the perfect mash and Sainsbury's would stock it like a shot.fatboylard wrote:

Do they do any of that at Waitrose?

No I won't use a smiley because I've decided to turn into Boboff, as he's turned all nice all of a sudden. Grumble grumble.
