This BB request is for Horsetail, but I could not see an active link for it. Anyways, I found these little stalks alongside a stream while camping. So excited, too! Because the horsetail near me is all mature and tough.

My kids and I harvested it, and made an infusion out of it. Pictured are the drinking cup we made, with wild lettuce added in, but we also made an oil infusion for turning into a toothpaste eventually. 😃 mint was added to this oil infusion.

Being weird is easy. Making it mainstream is hard. Be brave! https://www.youtube.com/@healthygreenbrave
