The homeland of this drink is Georgia. It was there, in 1887, that Mitrofan Lagidze, a pharmacist from Tiflis, for the first time began to add aromatic extract of Georgian tarragon, or tarhun, to carbonated water with natural syrups of his own production. Lagidze waters exist in Georgia to this day, but today we suggest you to prepare homemade tarhun and serve it with sweet bread.
