I'm not a fan of this vinegar infusion, actually.

The herb came from my garden. The vinegar was crabapple cider vinegar, homeade.

I harvested and dried the lemon balm over the summer. I then crushed the leave and poured white wine vinegar to cover the herb. I shook the jar daily and stored it in a dark cabinet, then strained it after 2 weeks.

I'm pursuing SKIP to inherit property, check it out for yourself: SKIP book or maybe you're my Otis/Otessa match?
I love that Rocket Mass Heaters are Carbon-Nuetral. In Erica's and Ernies Art of Fire Presentation, Erica explains the chemistry of how that's possible!
I attended Helen's Garden Master Course in January 2022 and give the lectures 10/10 acorns! Fortunately for you, you can also see the Garden Master recordings but unfortunately you'll miss out on the fruit Helen brought to sample.
