Pea and elderflower is an inspired pairing: floral and vegetal in perfect equilibrium. I chopped the sugar snap peas, muddled in a flask with a non-assertive gin (Bombay Sapphire), left for a few hours. Very unusual, and delicious.
I guess mangetout could be an ok substitute for sugar snap peas, but they’re not the same thing. Sugar snap peas are sweeter, fresher tasting, and have more of a peas flavour.
