Wild Farmacy
Discover the healing beauty of dandelions, wild violets and cleavers
On a beautiful spring day get close to the ground and feel the child in you wonder as you harvest each small purple bloom from the violet. You want about a cup of flowers. You receive a bonus if you hum a tune to the flowers while you harvest.
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh violet flowers
- 1 cup raw local honey
Preparation
Pour half of the honey into a half pint jar and add the violets. Pour the remainder of the honey over the flowers. Set aside for 4–6 weeks near a window or sunlight-filled area to allow the violet flavor to infuse the honey. Do not strain. Use the honey with the flowers in your tea, on toast or by the spoonful.
