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.

Chiara's notes:

Home made herbal preparations (45:39) from left to right:

Wild thyme honey
Good for cough or paired with cheese.
Stir with a spoon every few days.

Beech leaves and mandarin peel liqueur
Nutty, fresh, citric drink.
Let sit for minimum 3 weeks, shaking every few days. Serve with a splash of brandy.

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.
Let sit for 4-8 weeks in a dark place, shaking daily.

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
Traditional home remedy for cough and cold. Enjoyed as food, it is delicious when paired with baked pumpkin.
Let sit for minimum 4 weeks, stirring with a spoon every few days.

Not in the picture: 4 conifers salt
A salt that tastes like an alpine forest. Pairs well with baked focaccia or bread, with fish and meat, can be used to rim a cocktail glass
