Just an FYI....I found the coffee filters were really super slow, as you said. So instead, I cut a single layer of cheesecloth and put that in the fine strainer. Because of the fibers in the cloth and the fibers from the berries....it was way faster and extremely effective. Also, instead of using plain sugar, I started making a batch of sugar water syrup and have used that. Seems to work better for testing and adjusting the sweetness. Easy to make...just boil a cup of water (or so) and add about the same amount of white sugar. Bring to a boil to dissolve....and that is pretty much it. I'm sure there are many videos on making it so check it out.
Thanks for the great info.
Great idea thanks for sharing!
When harvesting any wild edible, it is best to collect in areas that are safe. The best places are not close to roads or near to areas that might be sprayed with pesticide or herbicide or road salt. The last thing anyone wants to do is have an adverse reaction to their foraged haul!
I suppose you could do a light rinse in water first before steeping it if that would put your mind at ease. If there is tons of plants growing along a road it obviously has not been sprayed with an herbicide, and please fill me in if there is a danger to road salt that I am not aware of? Thanks.
@@JacksonBaumgartOutdoors with utmost respect, plants typically filter what is introduced to their environment. In most cases those things are retained within the plant and transferred to the organism consuming the plant. Regardless, I did love the video and look forward to watching more. 😊
@@jessicat754 very true I’m sorry if my comment sounded rude. But a plant sucking up road salt is not going to harm a human.
@@JacksonBaumgartOutdoors I suppose road salt is a bad example. I've foraged next to a train track and the items I've gathered have tasted much like diesel and creosote. Plants found on the roadside are probably more subject to things that leak from vehicles like oil, fuel, and antifreeze. You're right, typical road salt is probably not as problematic. Foraging is all assumed risk, I suppose.
Its so good
Good stuff!! THX!!!
You’re welcome!
Can you freeze the berries for later use?
Don’t see why you couldn’t. Maybe even dehydrating them to have for tea would work?
Cool! Where is this??
Where can it be found you mean?
@@JacksonBaumgartOutdoors >>>>. where are you located?? Good grief.
You canceled out any health benefits with that white sugar. Try maple syrup or honey next time.
True honey is my favorite sweetener.
Why can’t you eat them
They are very hard. All the flavor is on the outside
NOPE. NOPE. >>>. TRUTH : Put 6 "cones/fruits" in a pitcher or large bowl. Pour 2 qts. WARM water on them. Do not mash them.
Let steep for 1 hour. Stir gently once. Do not mash. Pour it through fine strainer of your choosing. It wont be as sour as these kids did.
It will be wonderful.. >>. No Long steeping .... no mashing the berries. ... etc. It will be it sour. NOPE. Dont do it.
