Herb drying season has started. Do not forget to pick and dry your favorite plants. You can air dry or dehydrate them. Do what is the best for you just remember to make sure they are completely dry before you jar them and store away.

My favorites right now are:
Nettle
Chamomile
Catnip
Mullein
Violet leaf
Plantain leaf
What are your favorites?

Another part done. This is how I spend my free evenings.
This paper may be a proof of my learning and result of capstone that was done but it is not just that. To learn and unserstand herbalism is to live and practice it. It actually is a life long work.

One of my favorite foods is to get creative with soda making. Those are not regular sodas that you buy in the store full of sugars and other bad additives. These sodas are fermented with many healthy probiotics and plants or berries found around me. These sodas are great support for my gut and helpful for absorbing minerals and vitamins.
They are easy to make just need some practice. Some are made with just flowers and berries using wild yeast and some are made with ginger bug. When you start to make them it is hard to stop.
And they are delicious. Every one in my family loves them and beggs for more.

If you would love to make your own sodas than check out my fermentation class that is coming up on Monday. It will be fun.

It is time to start fermenting again. If you would like to learn different fermenting techniques, then come and join our workshops. You can choose one, two or all four. It is up to you but all I know you will gain fermenting skills improved, your questions answered, and delicious ferments taken home.

Different recipes will be provided in the workshop.

Popsicle time is here. And what can be better than homemade popsicles. They are easy to make and healthier.
Very tasty and cooling are Hibiscus and Strawberry popdicles.
Make strong hibiscus tea (about 2 cups). Strain it.
Add about 2 cups of strawberries, 1/3 cup of sweetener and 2 tsp of lime juice.
Blend it all and pour in molds. Freeze and enjoy.

These are delicious, healthy, bright and dye free!

Tell me your favorite popsicle flavors.

Weather is so hot and perfect for fermenting. Homemade sodas are very refreshing and healthy. We fill our fridge with homemade sodas in summer. And they are loved by my family a lot.
My favorites are cherry soda and wild soda with honeysuckle flowers. But my cherry stash is getting low and I am ready for new flavors.
While my ginger bug is fermenting it is time to come up with new ideas. I would love to try hibiscus and stawberry flavor.
Any other flavor suggestions? Ideas?
