what to do with the lilac: grapestomper.com/reclila…
Ahhhh thank you! :) I’ll have to try this..
I may be new to this and not so on the spot, but I LOVE wildcrafting. I’ve ended up harvesting roses, lilacs, dandelion leaves roots and flowers from my neighborhood. Roses to make my own rose water, trying to figure out what to do with the lilacs, and of course busting out a salad with the dandelion leaves, making a tea with the flowers and drying out the root for nom-ing. I really hope to explore and get into this some more. Plants are good. Life is good. Nature is great.
this is a Lilac flower syrup that I recently made. I first placed the individual lilac flowers in the jar, and then covered them with equal amounts of raw honey and brandy. I would have preferred to do mostly or only honey, but I didn’t have enough, so I added the brandy. this will be ready to try in a few weeks.
besides smelling heavenly, Lilac flowers are both edible and medicinal.
Lilac is said to* reduce fevers, prevent malaria, expel intestinal worms, treat kidney diseases, is a tonic, and an antiperiodic (helps prevent recurring symptoms of diseases).
*I say “is said to”, for I have never worked with Lilac as medicine, and am just discovering her medicinal qualities.
Ahhhhmazingg.. and Lilac rules. So glad I’ve stumbled across it this spring. This looks great!
