I guess a little vitamin C can't hurt, right? :)

Do we live in nature or does nature gives us a place to stay?
Surely we would have to give more respect to the "mother", but it's also society that made us do all that we do, to survive.
Living respectfully towards nature and making a living for ourselfs with what natures has to offer, is the way it should be.

With spring -  there is new life, new beginings, new cicle...

We can make a lot for ourselfs, just go out to the woods, meadows - in the nature, and be amazed what a huge health factory this place is. You'll be relaxed and you'll have a new plant or a herb to make something of it, whether it's a tea, syrup or a jam.

The beginning of May is the perfect time to harvest spruce tips or spruce shoots. All you'll need is few hours in the woods, brown sugar and jar glases.

 

Put one layer of each in tha glass (sugar first, then spruce tips, then sugar again) and seal it. Put the glasses in the sun and leave it for a month or two - as long as the sugar needs to melt. After that just pour the syrup in different glasses and put it in a dark space, until you'll need it.

Different name for this is also a cough syrup, so it's good for you when you have a cold or sore throath. Spruce is filled with vitamin C  - and I guess a little vitamin C can't hurt, right? :)
