@@lillysmith1709 - I’ve grown to like the sour taste. How about you?

Oh, so nice to know that you are using Kamut too!!! I've learned a lot this past year and am happy with my progress. Keep on baking! 💖🍞

@@SweetHerbinLivin Thanks. I’m definitely going to keep going. I’m trying to never buy bread again and just make all my bread for all my recipes. Practice makes perfection that’s for sure. 🫶🏻😎

@@mazzy2601 The leaves looked fuzzy during their first year.

@@bettykroll - I have great respect for Rosemary Gladstar, the godmother of herbalism.

Glad to help. We miss having the store and all of our customers. Thanks for watching.

@@danielamoeri4165 - what a great idea! I love it!

@@Mr.Sweet316 - I was pleased too. It’s still hot in Georgia. I’ll need you to fire up the smoker again this coming week.

@@busywithdogs 🤣🤣It was the end of a long day. My brain did not want to math.

@@darkridearts great! It is pretty hot though to be baking bread right now. In the follow-up, we bake the bread in Mr. Sweet’s grill so we don’t heat up the house.

@@Mr.Sweet316 🤣🥖

I really appreciate the love 💕. As for my pronunciation of the word “herb”…. Welllll, saying herb with a silent h is how I learned to say it! Like honest, honor, and heir, for me, the h is silent in the word herb. Most people I know in the States say herb 🌿 with a silent h. I have friends in Europe and Australia who pronounce the H in the word herb. We do pronounce the H when we say the name “Herb.” 🧍‍♂️ I really don’t know why that is. But after years and years of using a silent h, I’m not sure I can make the switch. 🤪

I use the h in herb. Typically, this is how we say it in the U.S.

Right?! 😂😂😂

You are correct that Vitamin E has no antibacterial properties. That means it can’t stop bacterial growth. However, due to the antioxidant properties of Vitamin E, it does help extend the life of our salves. Keeping with the definition of preservative of "prolonging life", Vitamin E prolongs the life of our salves. Using the term preservative fits when using this understanding.

Ginger is warm and delicious. I prefer it as an oil over the tea, lol. Mr. Sweet and I did a video together about which tea we prefer - ginger or peppermint. I'm Team Peppermint. Mr. Sweet is Team Ginger. Blended together the two teas are wonderful! You should watch it. It's a fun video. But I digress! A video covering the differences in notes is on my to-do list. I hope to have that out soon, so keep an eye out! Thank you for your feedback.

Yes! I used 1 cup of dried cat's claw bark in 12 ounces of olive oil when I made my latest cold infusion. Dry and Cold infusions are a bit different. You can find the basic recipe for both here: www.sweetherbinlivin.com/herbs-essential-oils/herbal-oil-salves-infusions

What kind of drawing salve are you looking for? There are several different kinds.

Awesome. Thanks, Ben! 🍎❤️

You can use them fresh or dry to make teas or tinctures. When using fresh herbs, I typically use 4 ounces of herb in 16 ounces of menstruum. I use 2 ounces of herb in 16 ounces of menstruum when using dried herbs. The time it takes to dry herbs can depend on your drying method. Did you see part one where I dried my herbs in my dehydrator? th-cam.com/video/c9Z5oQEVIM8/w-d-xo.html

I don’t. there are many different hair types and textures. This may be something to explore.

Oh Mr. Sweet… should I make a list or provide photographic evidence of “half measure” projects still needing to be completed. 🤣🤣🤣

Projects don’t count, because if I’m breathing I’m not done. I’m just pacing myself.

@@Mr.Sweet316 - 🤦‍♀️🤔😂

haha

😂🚌

I used almost 4 oz of water for the first recipe.

It’s in the description, but I’ve shared it here too.

That sounds like a yummy option. I might try that for the winter, but I’ll need to purchase vanilla essential oil. I think that’s one I DON’T have.

@@SweetHerbinLivin I love the warmth of vanilla. I do like pairing it with other oils like orange, clove, clary sage, and peppermint. (Not a specific blend, just a list of oils that I like pairing it with.) But, I love it on its own.

@@busywithdogs I might try vanilla, orange, and clove. That might even make a great combination for a relaxing bath.

@@SweetHerbinLivin I bet it would be.

Keeping the spray out of the reach of kiddos is important!

That sounds like a great blend! This should last a couple of months or so.

Thank you, Staci! I really appreciate your feedback.

Lavender and peppermint often blend well together. They work very well together in relaxing muscles and nerves and helping let go of stress. A good question to ask is, "What are you using the blend to help with?" Lavender blends well with sweet orange, bergamot, lemongrass, patchouli, vetiver, ylang ylang, and frankincense!

@@SweetHerbinLivin definitely not ylang ylang. I can’t stand that one. I’ll try peppermint

@@darkridearts ylang ylang doesn’t do much for me either.

Greetings! And thank you 😊

It seems to work exactly the same keeping in mind that fermenting with honey takes longer than sugar. If you try it, let me know how it works for you!

@@SweetHerbinLivin After I wrote you I watched several videos and read a few articles and two people had tried honey and it took longer to ferment and had a slightly different taste so I just went with the cane sugar... :))

@@Terri-o5q - I’m glad you did what works for you.

@@SweetHerbinLivin so far so good!

The wind blowing herbicides or pesticides around in a neighborhood is a real concern. Best to be wise and find somewhere else to harvest your herbs.

🤣🤣🤣 I said something about needing to have a talking to with my camera person.

You could make a clover blend tea! 🫖

Gotta keep an eye on Mr. Sweet. 🤣🤣🤣

The gladiolus flower remedy is uplifting. I want to use the word “straightening”. Like courage to move forward. Shoulders back. Posture straight and positive determination. That sort of thing. I still use it since I have plenty of mother essence. The Fayetteville Herb Shop was a special place. I miss you and my amazing Shop family.

Thank you!
