DIY- SOAP MAKING

Making Gorgeous Goats' Milk Products by @buckaroo

To tide us over the dry winter months I always freeze extra buckets of my goats nutritious organic milk - this is to make cheeses and yoghurt. I also measure off and freeze the exact portions required to continue making goats milk soaps. Because of the chemical process of saponification which causes the soap batch to reach high temperatures the goats milk needs to be at least partially frozen or it curdles (and ultimately flops) the soap. This week has already seen me busy with soap making as well as yummy cheeses

DIY- NATURAL REMEDIES

DIY Sting Care by @freedomtowrite

While coming back from our morning walk, the hubs and I stopped to stretch when he was stung by an angry wasp defending it's home!

I was a good wife and ran for our DIY sting treatment and left the phone alone! 😂

But it inspired a how-to video along with a reenactment, brilliantly done by the Yeti.

DIY- FORAGING FOR HEALTH

Fireweed Tea!!! And it's free... by @epiphany

Fireweed Tea!!! Now that's more like it!!! Also known as Ivan Chai and has a long and fascinating history, including trade wars in the 1800's.

This second batch turned out much, much better than the first. It's dark and looks like the black tea it is. It tastes and smells exactly like the tea I tried to drink with my Mum eons ago except this one has no caffeine, is less bitter and cost me nothing except about an hour of my time, mostly to roll the leaves and dehydrate it.
