Canadian here. I found dandelion & burdock soda ONCE in my local grocery store and, once it sold out, they never carried it again - a shame, because it instantly became my favourite fizzy drink. Thank you for sharing this recipe; I'm definitely going to have to try it!
Herbalist here. Just remember that Burdock can have hypoglycaemia actions, so you must be careful if you're on diabetic medications. And with Dandelion root, do not use it in cases of obstructed gallbladder or bile ducts. If you don't have these, then this is an awesome one to make. Looks delish
Not an expert, but I have a family member with problematic Type 1 diabetes. The issue might be that the starch causes a sugar spike, causing too much insulin to be produced/injected, potentially leading later to a sugar crash and if that's not corrected in time, then a hypo? It may just need the individual to adjust their monitoring and insulin input accordingly - they will have experience in what their body needs and doesn't when it comes to carbs! Hope this helps.
If you allow the D&B to cool to just a Luke warm then all the amazing benefits of the Honey will be preserved and you’ll then have yourself an even more healthy beneficial drink. Hot temperatures denature the amino acids etc if the honey. Honey is an incredible product! Thank you so much for this video. I’ll be hopping about searching the undergrowth. Good point to indicate the best places to find Burdock too. Can you tell us. Thanks
When you dig up the burdock root use a post hole spade, push it into the ground to make a small square and leverage it until you hear a pop, the plant should then come out easily without having to dig it out and making such a mess around it. Not a forager am a horse owner where this plant is an absolute menace, seeds can last years without germinating and the burrs are a total pain in the behind giving the horses a new hairdo 🙈 I’ve dug up acres of them and this is bar far the best method I’ve found without wrecking the fields
Thanks for this tidbit of knowledge! I live in an apartment, and have to rely on others' properties for my foraging. I always hesitate to ask about burdock, due to the amount of digging involved to get the root. Maybe this will give me a little edge in the game. :)
I can just imagine myself going round your kitchen stoned checking out all the cool ingredients. I dunno if that’s creepy. 😂 Wowww how’d you make this? Cool! And this one? I’d be happy as a dog with two tails.
God Bless you and your family. I'm enjoying learning from your videos as I begin this new journey of discovering the precious resources provided to us in our beautiful earth.
Another great video! Just a note though, your audio is only coming out of the left channel, I had to go to windows accessibility options and force mono, then up the volume a ton to watch the video.
(I hope you changed that smoke alarm battery after you finished brewing!) i could believe that burdock actually is a gift from On High; the entire thing is edible and tastes amazing (well, most of the time anyway lol) and it has that famous leafy green nutritional pedigree *and* it could grow in a crack in the sidewalk...aaaand it might have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
For years and years I've been thinking about making my own D&B and today I've just got a packet of burdock seeds so I can grow my own. I am very heartened to see just how easy it is to make and to learn more about the plants and their benefits, great video! :D
Great vid, I thoroughly enjoyed it, especially when he was talking about the plants, never heard of the term 'biennial' plant. Great no fancy stuff trying to make it more enjoyable or humorous, just smiles all round and a genuine avid interest. Oh, liked the referencing about the saint who woke up one early morning to cure a hangover and he asked the lord to provide a drink, and the lord did provide and Latin names and annotation brilliant! I wish I could do vids like that👍
Does burdock grow in OK? Are you all in England? I ask because my fathers family is from there, I love your accents and your info is great! I will be looking for burdock, hope it grows here, I’ve plenty of dandelions in my yard💕🙏
Fantastic, thank you both so much, love your gorgeous cheerful faces and brilliant demonstrations, knowledge and love of sharing. Goddess bless you both 🍂🍂🦋🍁
Watching this again for a refresher. Since we haven't completely frozen over yet here (Central Ohio, USA) & the ground is quite mushy, I plan to harvest some roots tomorrow & hope to get enough for eating/drying & a batch or 3 of cola.
Wow, when I think of the number of dandelion that I have thrown away! Oh man what am I like! Thank you so much for a subject that’s very close to my heart. God bless. Keep the videos coming.🙂🙏👍
@@homeiswhereourheartis the amount of times I snapped the roots trying and just thought I will give it a big tug 😂 who in their right mind digs a ft or 2 for some roots?😋😂😂 oh wait I would 🙃🙃😂😂
I love to dig up dandelion roots in the autumn for dandelion coffee. But tap roots I only bother with on rare occasion 😁 I say rare occasion Im always doing it 😅
I absoulutely loved every little bit of this video; the recipe itself, the timelapse of Dane working with the medicinal qualities on screen , the energy when you're home together and the development of Dane's narration skills. Perfection I'd say. 💜 The only thing i want to warn you about is the honey. If you add it while the mixture is still hot it will turn into a kinda harmful glue like substance so please be aware next time and let stuff cool first if you can. Have a lovely week , love you all. ☮ ✌.
@@homeiswhereourheartis My pleasure, really. You are the first few people I connected with through the internet. Lots of things on social media and youtube just reek of superficiality and fakeness. But you've warmed my heart ❤the first video i've seen and you just keep on delivering and improving. Wonderful job!
What a lovely tutor! And it looks like a lovely libation. I have a sodastream, so adding carbonation would be easy! (I've been carbonation kombucha recently, tasty option!) I'd likely go with less honey, and perhaps freeze some ... also think of mead .... I recently saw refrence to those burdock boxes, and a gal who divided a potato grow box (2×2') into quarters, putting 2 seeds in each section! I'm thinking of a 5 gallon bucket and dumping out for harvest!
Lol. That would last maybe 3 days at my house. I love burdock tea w/honey. Never tried it w/dandelion. Thanks for a wonderful video. Y’all are precious!!
You two are supper cool I love how simple your instructions where it's almost impossible to mess up. Thanks for the knolage you just got a new subscriber from hawaii🙂❣️❣️
Thank you for this idea & the detailed instructions for the recipe. I ingest dandelion and burdock root several other ways, but never tried this. Will have to give it a go. I'll bet if I made a big batch or several small batches & froze it, it would keep all winter (if I don't drink it all first). 😉
ended up at 2 of your vids today completely randomly, was on a yew war bow vibe earlier so wanted to learn about the yew tree, then later today was looking up what dandelion and burdock pop actually was cos someone said the sticky buds plant that kids stick on each other is burdock, like the pop
You have a beautiful array of honeys and herbs on the counter innthe background. I believe i saw red nettle something. Can you do a vid on it all , but pls let me see your red nettle plant...have something out here called dead nettle, wondering if similar and uses
I LOVE your videos! Thank you ever so much for all the wonderful info! As a small note, the waving of the camera is very distracting and makes me feel seasick--lol. Love everything else ❤
Hi guys, I'm building up quite a library of your videos, love them and love watching yourselves and your family 👪 foraging then preparing mother nature's delights.. Would love to see your larder ,full of all of your wonderful preserves.. 1 question please 🙏 How long would a batch of Fireweed honey store for ? I'm on my last jar of dandelion honey 🍯, made 12 jars ,gave some to friends an d family 👪 ❤️
I live in northern Wisconsin, U.S. we have the tall purple burdock, can I use that burdock root? I have the dandelion root, picked some yesterday but making tincture with it but I can find more. Thanks
Well time to get experimenting if it's just a case of boiling roots and yeeting things in, well if Stevia works... I can grow literally everything and just boil up some D&B, as for carbonation, get CO2 canisters and a pressure rated bottle then load up a nozzle, seal the bottle with the nozzle on top then blast it to no end with CO2, and wait till equilibrium lest you have a fizzy sticky fountain.
Great recipe , could you add citric acid to make it fizzy ? Thank you Love October because of all the beautiful colours in the countryside and Halloween 🎃 🐝🌈❤️
I love D&B but a bit confused why you’re referring to it as cola? It’s not got Kola nut extract in it? Is it for your US viewers who might not be familiar with traditional D&B from England? If so then I’d have thought it’s more like their Root beer or Dr Peppers….
My first attempt at this this evening. The root wasn't quite as nice as yours and nor did I have it quite as clear when it went into the pan.... oops. Hope I survive.
Also, I've heard it's possible to mistake the belladonna for burdock, which could make it quite dangerous to harvest as a novice? Is there a way to identify the difference in the roots? Cheers
If it's got leaves that are two square feet in area, it's burdock. Late summer on you will also see the older plants with the "burrs" that give it its name. Spiky balls that stick in dogs' paws.
Sorry but no plant has Vit B12. Vit B12 can only be sourced from meat. However, vegetarians can take fortified yeast but B12 does not occur naturally in yeast. That being said...burdock has, folate which is the natural form of vitamin B9. It's called folic acid in its synthetic form. Folate is essential in making new cells, DNA, and other genetic material. I may make this but I'll sweeten it with molasses.
@@homeiswhereourheartis Good luck mate, we have made some of our own wild food videos on my channel amongst other research and decodings, plan for a famine and colder times / a reset event, survival mode is needed now.
