Roughly cut the tomatoes into large dice.

Place the tomatoes, salt, Verjuice and caster sugar into a food processor and blend until smooth. Add sugar if tomatoes are not ripe enough.

Line a large sieve with muslin cloth or a clean muslin cloth and place it over a 1 litre bowl of jug. Pour the tomato mixture into the sieve, bring the ends up and tie them with some cooking twine.

Place into the fridge and allow to hang over night, the following day you should have approximately ½ litre of tomato water.

To serve, tie together a sprig of thyme and lemon verbena as a tiny bouquet. Warm the tomato water gently and divide between six serving cups / bowls and place a bouquet in to each serve.
