Right now I am making a calendula salve, cardamom tincture, vanilla,cacao and cinnamon extracts, some of my own essential oils including lavender and marigold. Plus a few other things 🤩😍. Oh and when my salve and oils are done I will not throw out the flowers just throw them in some white rice and cook up, no need for oils or butter as the flowers will have enough for the rice ❤️.

Oh Wow! You are doing so much! That is awesome and great idea to cook them. That has never even crossed my mind. Thank you!

I enjoyed your video! I make the syrup, tinture, jellies etc also. You are so right about the labor intense process to harvest and process the berries! ( but I love it) if folks had to go out and do this, they would understand why it's so expensive! It's worth it. Here is what I do with the elderberies I have left after straining thru the cheese cloth. I do compost for my chickens but I saw a lady talk about this and I have done it. I dump all the elderberries that I used for syrup in a Mason jar and cover with organic apple cider vinegar. Turn regular like tinture and let sit at least 6 weeks. I generally strain the berries but you don't have to. I take a swig every day so I get the benefits of ACV and Elderberry. It's awesome! Blessings

I make something with elderberry every year. I bought a small stainless steel fruit press on eBay so I could press every drop of goodness out. I am also making Mullen tincture from the flowers of Mullen. I love wild edibles and learning to live off the things that grow in the wild.

What I found to be the easiest to harvest from the stems is to freeze the whole head of fresh berries first. They just fall off the stems.

YOU were the greatest, most straight to the point channel ive found!!! I also.mix my elderberry syrup, (which I prefer without honey as the Elderberries are DELICIOUS on their own), Yet for my water, I replace STRONG mullen tea which i use 50 /50 and crock pot it ALL night, then...VERY IMPORTANT: STRAIN it 3 times prior to use. Also, PLEASE do a recipe on Elderberrie/ANY fruit gummies using pectin. ***ALWAYS used distilled water, i h e drops of minerals i add to the distilled water...

Thank you so much. And I love the suggestion on adding the mullein tea. I already have my elderberry syrup made up so I think I will make a cup of mullein tea and add my dose of elderberry syrup to it. 🤔 Blessings!

I’m in the process of harvesting my elderberries now as they ripen. The berries (still on the stems) go in the freezer until I have enough and once frozen, they come off the stems easily. There’s tincture and syrup in my pantry. Also have comfrey steeping in olive oil to make a healing salve. There are vanilla beans that have been steeping in vodka for years now and I just keep adding vodka and more beans as I feel they are needed. I also make apple scrap vinegar and raspberry wine vinegar (store bought wine). The left overs from making vinegar or the tinctures are great for the chickens and you can use it to kick start fermented feed for the chickens. Your instructions were clear though maybe include a warning about some of the essential oils for some people.

Why was I under the impression that you’re not supposed to consume essential oils? Is there different types of essential oils ?

@justdigitfarms 2 жыл бұрын

Hi! First of all, thank you for watching! Yes, there are different essential oils. Some are not really for consumption but there are many that are safe and actually very healing. First of all, make sure you are using a high quality oil. One that is 100 % essential oil from the plant and not one that is made from mostly synthetic fillers. The company I completely trust & use is Young Living! Second, before you consume any, do a little research and make sure it is one that is safe for consumption.
