Is it just me or are #berries extremely fun to #forage ? Maybe it satisfies my hunter-gatherer instincts, haha. These are #juniper berries, from Juniperus phoenicea, which we call βένια in our local dialect.

I've been drying these, some to use in a #tincture and others to store away for future #medicinal uses, like a #herbal #tea or to make into #salve. I would have made some into #jam but I've had no time between life being crazy and academic obligations stressing me out. 💀

#Nature infused activities in a #witchcraft context are so therapeutic, and I really wish I could be creating full-time. Just have the freedom to forage, process, research and post without needing to worry about being able to pay the bills.

Magic Sugar Cubes!

First batch - just sugar, tincture, and a little food coloring for fun.

Easy to make, if you have tincture - drip a measured dose onto each cube, into the oven at 170F for 15 minutes to cook off the alcohol, done. My desired dose required a little more liquid than these cubes could hold so I ran them through the process twice.

Wrapped in foil and bagged, we'll see how they work out.

@mikejackmin
I haven't made #cannabutter in years, mainly because I use #tincture in one form or another in my daily routine.
This makes about 4 cups of sugar per batch, which lasts me about six months. I keep my sugar in a #mypharmjar or 2 oz. Chubby Gorillas containers work well if kept in the freezer. I haven't had any loss of #thc from being in a freezer. My only problem may be that I don't let all of the alcohol evaporate long enough, and I have to back later and reblend big chunks.

@mikejackmin I like the egg poacher technique with Carmel. It must be messy, though?
I use 152 proof grain alcohol(500 ml per 28 grams *kept in the freezer, 4 hour soak, shake every 2 hours), called Diesel, and spring💧for my lingual #tincture
For #thc sugar, no spring💧is used because It's going to evaporate the alcohol slowly over 3 days w/ fan on low & a cheesecloth covering the container.
Mix the sugar daily, so evaporation and consistency can be seen. Day 3: Use a blender to keep uniform

It's 10:35 a.m. and my household is dank because of decarboxylation for my #cannabis #tincture for making #thc sugar, which I use on a daily basis for chronic pain and inflammation.
Everyone has their own decarboxylating techniques and favorite high proof liquor to produce a tincture. Would you like to share yours as I melt into the couch?

I know these are musings, yet..

#Tincture : if made from alcohol-base not glycerin-base, likely tincture won't have completely frozen (depending on ABV/Alcohol By Volume/'proof' ~ 80-proof probably/100-proof no).

With any extreme temperature-change, *effects not just efficacy of #plants' #medicine may be altered*, so definitely good to get new.

#echinacea_purpurea preparing the seeds for storage.

I bought #coneflower seeds two years ago. The first generation blossomed for the first time this summer. I put some of the spent flowers aside to keep the seeds.
I killed this years batch of seedlings... (all of them, except Tomatoes, Chili and squash...)
But next year I will have a lot of Echinacea seeds to plant. They will bloom first in 2023 and will be ready to harvest roots in 2024.
I'm looking forward to make #tincture.
