Walking before it gets too warm and taking in a last breath of Suffolk before I’m back in clinic in London this afternoon.
Building up the energy for our black lab Kevin’s TPLO surgery on Thursday 😬. We feel so sorry for him - 8 weeks of gentle lead walking will be so challenging for him- and us 🙄🙁

🌿HERBAL WORKSHOP🌿

🍃Daisies as far as the eye can see!🍃
Pippettes Farm. Organic and biodynamic.

Next week, I’m delighted to be running a Herbal Workshop at .fromthemaddingcrowd in Suffolk and I’ve been thinking of what wonderful things we can make together.

Daisy flowers have some similar properties to Arnica flowers as they are in the same plant family of Asteraceae and are high in flavonoid which help reduce inflammation. Often called ‘poor man’s arnica’ and referred to as Bruisewort the clue is in the name 😊. But there’s so much more amazing info to share, steeped in history and often ignored!

These humble little flowers have multiple fascinating uses so I thought it would be ideal to learn about them now when they are in abundance.

So, I’m going to harvest some of these beauties and explain how we can use make use of them.

I think it’s really important to make my workshops relevant to what grows locally and what is available now- as our medicine is on our doorstep ❤️🌿🌼
Fancy coming to one of my workshops or doing one on line ? Leave me a message 😊🌿

Frosty early morning and multi tasking Aga.

Cooking porridge in oven, drying laundry and cycle boots and warming up Doris and Kevin who are blocking the access to the oven 🙄

🔥Making fire cider🔥

There are no hard and fast recipes.

I like to use herbs we have grown on the farm as much as possible.

Here are the ingredients I used yesterday in my photo - plus some sprigs of rosemary and thyme.

🔥Pippettes farm ACV
🔥Horseradish root- freshly dug up the same day
🔥garlic cloves - dug up on July and stored
🔥Chillis - grown and frozen in October
🔥Ginger - organic and shop purchased
🔥Rosemary and thyme fresh from the winter garden.

I roughly chop herbs - no more than 1cm square and put in a kilner and cover with apple cider vinegar ( with mother)

Ensure all herbs are covered as they are fresh, so they contain water and exposure to air can cause mould/ bacteria to develop.
I use glass / rubber for the lid but use greaseproof paper over a metal lid. Store in a dark cupboard and mix / check daily if you can.

Fresh,home grown herbs can often be more potent than shop bought, so I tend to only let mine infuse for 2 weeks as it gets too strong otherwise. I do repeat this process and reuse some herbs as the density of the garlic, horseradish root and garlic do remain potent for a few more weeks.

Once filtered through muslin or a fine filter, bottle in dark glass and keep in fridge. You can add honey to the filtered mix but this will reduce the shelf life a bit.

I enjoy fire cider in salad dressings and with our organic honey as a 10ml shot to prevent colds or alternatively with a bit of lemon and a teaspoon of honey in a hot drink to fight a cold.

If you want to learn more about this and how to make herbal teas and infused oils come to my course on May 8th 2025 .fromthemaddingcrowd
