DaB98: Out of the woods, into the brew – Summer feat. Xavier Tortosa

Hi everyone,

  • welcome to our summer episode. Xavier and me got back together despite the heat and we talked:
    • what we did since last time
    • what plants we identified as candidates for this season and altenative ways to get some
    • a recap of what you can do with your plants and a new way to extract flavor: Oxymel

Personally the most interesting insight was about straw.

Have fun with the info provided and don’t take the following disclaimer personally 😉
It is necessary as some plants have poisonous doppelgangers.

**DISCLAIMER**
FORAGE THE RIGHT WAY (RESPECT NATURE AND LEAVE SOME FOR THE PLANT AND OTHERS)!
ONLY USE WHAT YOU CAN SAFELY IDENTIFY AND USE! WE’RE NOT RESPONSIBLE IN ANY WAY.
**END**

Enjoy responsible and stay thirsty
Dr. Durstig
