A lot going on this week. During the first days Jannes and Thomas help out with levelling the tent area and preparing the poles for the fences. I am finishing the wood paneling and the bathroom vanity. Chiara is coming to visit and we go foraging.

Wild thyme “grappa”
Traditional alpine drink and home remedy for various minor health conditions.
Let sit in a warm and dark place, shaking daily.
4 conifers oxymel
Sweet and balsamic, can be used as a salad seasoning or taken by the teaspoon when needed.

Nettle infused vinegar
Remineralizing and anti-inflammatory, can be used as a salad seasoning or taken by the teaspoon when needed.
Let sit for minimum 2 weeks shaking daily, then strain and keep the vinegar.
Garlic honey
