We've been lucky enough to have a patch of violets under our hedge for more than 20 years. I never thought to look into them at all. I've known from a young age that they were edible but that was all. Thank you for the information!
I have these in y garden beds I have no clue where they came from unless god himself put them there 🥰 but there is soooo many I just left them they bloomed pretty purple flowers they spread all over but I never knew they were edible 👀👀 I also have mullin plants all over my backyard and dandelions I let them grow even these little strawberry things ..ooo and this one tree turned out to be a apple tree 😮 so now I have apples lol 🤣
I found dog violets, picked some, steeped fresh violets for 24-hours on the counter and then put the steeped tea in the refrigerator. How long will it stay good in the fridge?
Yass! found this little one today, Thanks for your knowledge. Recently came across your channel. Been enjoying the blend of identification, medicinal properties, history & magic ;) Fair play & good for you :)
"sweet violets, sweeter than the roses, covered all over in head to toe in sweet violets" 🎶🎶😂😂 I've been singing that in my head since I saw your post this morning, thanks again for another wonderful video 💜
Love that little trick! The first time I did it I was amazed to watch the color change right before my eyes. So much fun and tasty too! Another lovely video 👏 Loved the history & sustainability part of it too. Enjoy all of the spring edibles friends!
Thank you for sharing; I knew the violets could be eaten but never knew the leaves could be too. I'm fortunate to have an abundance of violets and let them grow as a ground cover. Because they are in garden beds .Just before spring I have always stripped about a third of the leaves to expose the flowers and also supposedly produce more flowers. ( Not sure if this bit is true or whether they are simply more visible although some buds may get more light and therefore develop better.) I love the soft subtle smell of violets and there is a saying if you smell violets there is an angel watching over you. I also have a double variety that can be slow to get established but once it gets started can be just as prolific as the regular sweet violet. I didn't realize parts of Europe lost a lot of wild violets; and I always feel bad thinning the plants out. I think I might start planting them in the grass but then I don't want to let them take over the clover plants.
Discovered your channel yesterday and you guys are great. You both look so happy and healthy which is a good advert for living your lifestyle. Who needs greed and material wealth. Take care both.
You bring simple joy into my life through your appreciation of nature, though its very late at night and I should be asleep. I'm sipping my Violet tincture in hot water from last Spring. Kudos!
Why doesn’t mine turn blue? I have violas, I pour hot water over it. It didn’t happen last time, so I collected a huge jar this time, it still didn’t work, do you add lemon juice or something?
Are they true sweet violets, more so its also amount of flower to water. If too much water it comes out much lighter. The lemon turns it blue to purple/pink(ph indicator basically). Good luck.
I've been picking slowly, dehydrate most of super low to keep color. I'm making a tea today from some older dried and fresh, it's fun to amaze students with the lemon color change.
Another incredible and massively useful video! You're bad for my bladder because every time you release a video I instantly have to go and make myself some tea! 🤣
Just enjoyed a sweet violets tea my 3 year old said was yummy and eat flowers aswell I didn't really get much of tea either. Thanks for making channel i love the content always gives me something else to learn and grow thanks again
Good to remind people to save some for wildlife and seeding. Apparently they are becoming less common in some areas. I might consider trying to grow these at home on the lawn to help them out.
Beautiful looking and colour little flower- l remember picking a tiny bunch of these for my Grandma as a child but sadly do not see many when out with my grandchildren where we live now. Another new plant to find this spring thank you X
Nice it changes color like Clitoria ternatea...😍 I'm obsessed with blue teas🙌 thanks for sharkng the video and greetings from Costa Rica...I will try this tea 😎
I'm so excited I just identified 100% wild violets growing in my garden... the smell of the flower took me back to when I was a kid and had violet sweets. Thank you I'm off to put the kettle on.Cheers 🌸😁
What a lovely tea. I recently heard about purple shiso tea, so I planted seeds. Looking forward to it. I wonder if there's a color change with shiso tea as well when lemon is added. I'll be looking out for violets soon so I can make this tea, hopefully mixing the two together as an experiment.
I just found your channel. I live in Alabama in the lower U.S. I'm very new to foraging. I have wild violets blooming ALL OVER my yard. The purple ones and the purple/white ones. Both are edible, correct? I'm very excited to try this tea.
Hello, fellow Alabamian! I’ve been intrigued by nature for years, and I’m considering taking a new turn to foraging and and witchcraft. Im glad I’m not alone here!
Saw a bunch yesterday on a forest walk. My friends and family are being bombarded with free food facts and I was pointing stuff out on walk with friend yesterday every 2 secs. Must have found my calling since only found your vids yesterday & the info I have retained is amazing. Never learned so much,so fast in my life..thankyou is not enough for how much you have improved an made my life better.Looking forward to my next walk now & will defo be collecting for later use! ❤️❤️🏴😁 future is ❤️& nature...it’s looking good.x
What a lovely video! Yesterday I just discovered the sweet violet's that I planted last year! Such a joy to see them but not enough for making tea. I know where they grow in profusion so will definitely be taking a trip there. Great to see your love for nature and sharing with us Dane. God bless and keep well. 💖🙏💖💜💜💜

Thanks for reminding everyone to save some for the wild life.
Keeping the balance is important 🙂

Glad you enjoyed the video 😁
I made candy out of violet tea and it put me to sleep
Great video! Thank you. From San Francisco, California.
I love how Violets are shaped a little like butterflies
That's a great way to describe them 🙂
New to the channel and very impressed 👏....your enthusiasm is contagious and this practical information is just what I've looked for

I love violets. Silly me, I took some seeds and spread them,now in springtime I have many many violets to make cookies and violet jelly.
I just found a patch of mint leaf beebalm near me a very useful plant, also sweet violets have been out also.
I only find dog violets in the US, it’s pleasant, but too bad, not sweet or fragrant.

I think the balance you have sounds the best 😁

I love how you use so many of the herbs you find in teas. I'm a big fan of that too!
We love tea! A hot cuppa on a walk is a great feeling
Me.. beautiful 😂 🤩
Keep up the great work! You guys are amazing! Thank you for sharing all this precious knowledge with us ❤️
Thank you fit taking the time to join us 😁

These are one that spread by root/rhizome even more than by seeds. I have more this year and harvested last year from yard.
Beautiful looking and colour little flower- l remember picking a tiny bunch of these for my Grandma as a child but sadly do not see many when out with my grandchildren where we live now. Another new plant to find this spring thank you X
Go into the woodlands that less people walk through 🙂
@@homeiswhereourheartis yes we will- l think you are right -Westonbirt Arboretum is in walking distance to us but v v v very popular x
I love this
Love your videos. Keep inspiring us with them.
We'll try our best 😁
My backyard is full of them!

Yes as long as they are the correct violets the white ones are the same 🙂

We have a son called Bruce & a horse named dokota! 😁
I love violets and pansies. My aunt loved them and she sadly passed almost a year ago.
Just need to find some violets!
Fingers crossed you find some 😁
How beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing and good morning from Australia 🇦🇺
Good morning from the UK 😁
I make violet syrup for pancakes or bourbon in place of mint for a julip. So yummy. I can’t wait to see them in spring.
Thanks for sharing.

Wow a violet bourbon!
What a sweet video :')
