So far this week I've made up a batch of elderberry syrup (for our colds) and black walnut tincture (for future cleanses). The black walnuts came from our yard. I'm feeling really blessed that I have this space to urban homestead!
Notes on these two "potions": Elderberry syrup with brandy is perfect for before bed. Soothes the throat and coughs AND helps you sleep. It was like a miracle drug!
Black walnuts are being dropped from the trees by the squirrels (potential ick), so I washed them and dried them for a bit in the oven on warm. Wait 6 weeks for the tincture to be ready.
From Kansas to Michigan and back to Kansas again. This is our exploration into living, loving, and parenting simply.
