The slightly astringent taste always reminds me of drinking tea. <br /><br />We go through about a gallon of hawthorne berry brandy each year. For medicinal purposes of course! :) <br /><br />I also adore the vinegar - the berries sweeten the ACV and turn it such a luscious fuscia color.Rosaleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00364991932998099628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10862307.post-91921624521242590892011-03-12T22:10:31.173-05:002011-03-12T22:10:31.173-05:00(((HUGS))) and thankyou for this very informative ...(((HUGS))) and thankyou for this very informative post. I knew absolutely nothing about Hawthorne so am surprised at all its uses. I could surely have used some around here the past few weeks for my sweet girl who is suffering from a broken heart. She is getting there, but boy its been a bumpy ride. <br /><br />Love and light to you xoxoxkarismahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02529919522651147308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10862307.post-37147812866751751612011-03-12T16:59:35.915-05:002011-03-12T16:59:35.915-05:00A lovely post on a wonderful herbal ally, thank yo...A lovely post on a wonderful herbal ally, thank you. <br /><br />I do like the combined berry and flowering tops tincture for many people but I also make a tincture just of the blossoms for use as a nervine and support for the emotional heart. I have found drop does of this incredibly powerful for states like those you mention, of grief and of heartache.<br /><br />I'll be interested to read your comparisons of using the two, separately and combined, later in the year.<br /><br />With Hawthorn blessings xxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10862307.post-41163998859987583332011-03-12T15:36:49.657-05:002011-03-12T15:36:49.657-05:00Wow, great info!

Hawthorne berry vinegar sounds like a great use for them!Alysshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04820396354932192545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10862307.post-51140054142199250622011-03-12T12:24:29.558-05:002011-03-12T12:24:29.558-05:00Awesome post, sweetheart! :)

I think I'll possibly document her growth patterns in that section.<br /><br />I thoroughly enjoyed your insights on Hawthorn!<br /><br />Much love,<br />DanaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
