I know it's early, but.. get ready for Spring!
Hay fever Remedy.
Just a quick apothecary note on those elderflowers. A herbalist friend of mine gave me a great remedy for hay fever using elderflowers and as they are still in bloom so late this year, there is still time to do this.
Pack a jam jar full of elderflowers. Get a jar of your local runny honey and pour it over the flowers, get as much in as you can. Leave the flowers to infuse, shaking from time to time.
After 5 days strain the honey and re-bottle it. Next Feb as the pollen count starts to rise, take a teaspoon of honey a day to ward off hay fever.
Use the honey-soaked flowers as a tea - hot or iced!!!
Bless you.
