Really enjoy the Green any Gin and need to get more of their stuff. Green Ants are really aggressive ants and when I was in the army in the NT we got attacked by them dropping out of the trees and biting you with their mandibles, they then squirt acid from their abdomen into the wound. Remembering you can make a tea with them and you can eat them I ate a few of them and they have the best citric lemony, lime flavour I've ever had! Cheers Tim!
Love that story! I’ve never encountered alive green ants I must say. But I’ve tasted them on their own and tasted exactly as you describe! Cheers mate! 🍸
I know it's been a year and you probably won't see this, but I just came across this in my local bottle-o today and stood there for a while thinking about the time I too, ate green ants while I was in Darwin in the Army. The ants actually taste pretty good and I can see it working really well in gin, so I'll be buying a bottle soon.
I love green ant gin. Not the cheapest but my partner buys it for me for Christmas, so who is to complain. He came home recently with a bottle of the bush apple gin, which I also love.
