So, the world´s gone insane-and alcohol is not a solution, but killing off brain cells helps a bit to decrease the gap of stupidity*ggg*, just kidding, of course.
I have a new run of Hippocras/Theriak ready, brewed from:
-Grape
-Apple
-Blackcurrant
-Sloe
-Quince
-wild strawberries
-wild strawberry leaves
-blueberry leaves
-elderflowers
-bramble berries and leaves
-nettle seeds
-ginger
-lesser galangal
-aniseed
-clove
-allspice
-nutmeg
-cinnamon
-angelica root
-mugwort
-sage
-common yarrow
-St. John´s wort
-honey
-incense
It is made after a 17th century Theriak recipe with inspiration by Konrad of Megenberg and Hildegard of Bingen. It has a very invigorating effect;-) and can be used as a medicinal against cough, flu, bad stomach, female complaints, as a digestive, stomach cramps, digestive problems and a mild antidepressive (provided you use it sensibly). Of course: Please remember to judge for yourself when to visit a doctor and when not to! I will not be made responsible for any adverse effects...
Always be cautious when using herbal concoctions, of course and blah, and blah, and blah...;-).
As a medicinal concoction, drink three mugs a day. You can also drink it warm, prepared just about the same as mulled wine.
Those are the adventures of Mr. Fimbulmyrk, in bushcraft and blacksmithing, mountainbiking and hiking, reenactment, writing, singing, dancing, stargazing and having a piece of cake and a coffee. Pray have a seat and look around you, but be warned - the forest´s twilight is ferocious at times.
