A taster of what’s to come in our new book The Children’s Forest.
Capture summer and save it for a rainy day…
Honeysuckle Honey
YOU WILL NEED:
- Honeysuckle flowers
- Honey
- A clear glass jar and lid
TO MAKE:
- Pick honeysuckle blossom and opening buds on a warm, dry day. Put them in a jar and cover with runny honey local is best, as it contains nectar from the flowers of your own place, which makes a stronger medicine.
- Put the jar on a windowsill or outside in a sunny spot, where it can infuse in the sun. Stir it every few days to mix the flowers with the honey.
- After one cycle of the moon, strain, bottle and label. The honeysuckle honey can be added to herbal teas or taken, one teaspoon one to three times a day, to help sore throats, colds and coughs or headaches.
Engaging children through imagination and play The Children’s Forest is a book of stories, activities, games, songs and observations of the forest as it changes through all the seasons.
What greater gift could you give to your children than to help them fall back in love with the forests and remember who they are? This book is a gateway, a gift and a homecoming that is humbly offered and powerfully written. Embrace it.
