I finished my recipe for dandelion root bitters yesterday after gathering and washing dandelion roots and chopping them up. Adding a bunch of fresh ginger root slices, and the zest from 2 oranges, I put all of these ingredients in a jar covered in vodka. Now I wait 28 days to see how it...
So I am planning to make another old fashioned recipe of bitters. It has dandelion roots, orange peel slices, ginger root slices, and vodka. This pic shows the washing process!
Years back I bought a red rose and took it sailing for a couple months and all of the blooms turned white. Now, I just bought a white rose and took it sailing for a week so far and as you can see the petals are changing colors!!!
Here are a few of the springy things I saw today on my walk - dandelions, skunk cabbage, and salmon berry blooms. I love this time of year! It's finally warming up and there is so much life everywhere!
Today I went on a 5 mile hike with DH up to a beautiful lake. It was sunny so we sat in the sunshine, just soaking it up for more than an hour before heading back. We foraged these yummy dandelion greens which I will add to a gourmet salad! Yummy and SO healthy! Look up the health benefits...
Just got these pretty white roses! Im taking them on a 2 week sailing cruise!
A few years back I bought a rose with red blooms and the flowers turned white after many days at sea!! I wonder if the white blooms will turn red out here! Tune in in a few weeks to see what happens! 😁
