Folkington's Earl Grey Tonic Water is made from natural quinine (from Indian cinchona bark) blended with natural bergamot extract made in small batches.A splash of history:Quinine, the essential ingredient of tonic water, was first discovered in 17th Century South America as a cure for malaria. By the mid 19th Century quinine was traded worldwide and it was the colonial British in India who added sugar and fizzy water to make it more palatable and called it "tonic water". And then someone added Gin. The rest is history.With Natural Botanicals, Get Into the Spirit!, No Artificial Sweeteners, Flavourings or Preservatives
