Hello ~
I am writing about my passion ~ HERBS!
and..about making healthy CHOICES.
and..about making healthy CHOICES.
Every day we make so many choices — good and bad.
Life-enhancing and otherwise. Easy and hard. Much of
Life-enhancing and otherwise. Easy and hard. Much of
the time we make a choice because it’s what we know;
it’s what our family has always done. It’s what our peers do,
or think or it’s been ‘that way’ for so long that we don’t even
realize it’s a choice we’ve made.
Small simple changes can make a big difference in our day-to-day mood and wellbeing.
Over time these small changes can benefit you and your family in ways that will delight you.

Carol,
Several of us got together and had fun trying elderberry and elder flower recipes. One of the recipes we tried was your elder flower champagne from the Herb of the Year Elder book. We have a couple of questions: During the eight-day period, should the champagne be in a dark or light place; should it be refrigerated? Should there be a thin, whitish, bubbly layer on top of the champagne after it has aged for 8 days? Any other helpful hints would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hello Diann.
I have always kept it in a quiet dark cool place. Yes, the layer of filmy bubbles has always been normal.
It sometimes goes away or I have skimmed off that layer; still wonderful results.
Let me know how it turns out!! Thanks for your questions. Green blessings, Carol
