 Yes! Life’s tonic. Are you an infused vinegar fan? I run a self discovery program for youth called The Garden Project. We use it to make vinaigrette for our salads

 I have a dandelion tincture that’s probably ready. I have never tried a vinaigrette. How long does it take usually for the infusion?

 My standard is 4 weeks minimum with 6 weeks the sweet spot. Two other favorites are burdock root and Hawthorne berries

 Burdock root? Interesting i am pretty sure I used the leaves. I will have to look into that. 

I have done chive blossoms years ago I never fully go into it.

 They’re related to apples and popular in China. Here are pics of my favorite Chinese hawthorn sweets, 糖葫芦 and 山楂条 https://image.nostr.build/875a867267d55cfa4fab610e67bed60bf9664da2e37a78948fa451b363420d35.jpg https://image.nostr.build/7ab18843350c66091209c4b060d0ddb0a79f6f4f82f1fe0158d1543ed4ec4f0e.jpg

 Heart healing and heart protection. The leaves and flowers are great for tea, pollinators and birds love them and they are an easy to grow shrub/tree
