Just opened up a gallon jug of some wild-fermentation plum drink the other day. Best of the batch so far—sweet and tart, with a nice zing.
Just started a batch of Borage Ale Today.
I poured a couple cups of Brown Sugar. A big spoonful of raw honey into just-boiled water.
Then, after a few minutes of stirring, i pour the hot water over a big handful of fresh borage leaves and flowers. Maybe some dandyion, too.
Then, once the concoction is at about wrist-temp/room temp, i pour it onto a bottle and add in the Wart (from champagne yeast) at stick on the air-lock.
Should be ready in a few weeks for drinkin.
borage is a calmative, cooling, saline, diuretic herb, good for early lung problems from seasonal symptoms, and is supposed to be an anti-depressant.*
