We've tried this and it is really good! We tried it while boiling some maple sap and when the sap just started to taste sweet, we made a batch of the Eastern White Cedar Tea......It was delicious! Thanks for sharing!
I watched your video yesterday, I'm addicted to the channel. Plenty of best wishes from India 🇮🇳 This channel gives me the peace amid all the Covid-19 negativity.
OutsideFun1 I think I got the narration figured out. I asked you on your facebook. Many thanks. I'll send you a link to how it turned out. My last few videos I was tweaking it around, but I think I got it down pretty good. I'll send you my worm picking video in a few weeks when it's up. Again, thanks!
Just found your channel via your foraging video with scapes and morels and love it. I grew up on Lake Superior, and love visiting my parents there every year. Once a northwoods child, always a northwoods child! When I was a teen, my mom and I went to see a counselor with the Ojibwa tribe in Ontario. She counseled me that drinking cedar tea is a wonderful drink for women to nurture their unique needs. I’m not sure if it entailed just cycles, or hormones, or emotions, or what, but ever since then I enjoy cedar tea every time I go home. It’s delicious! Growing up on Cedar Street, I never had want for leaves. 😊 I add a little honey to the tea. It’s fantastic. Great channel!
I really enjoy watching your channel, i feel it's easy to pick up and your videos are simple yet they get to the point. I definitely learn a lot about wild survival watching your channel. I also definitely want to try some of the stuff you make in your videos!
Great detailed demo of making white cedar tea. I did not know that little tip about the tannins with this tea. Thank you very much for the video! Atb, Stella
curious as to the location you were at, is the stone part of a passageway or just appears that way? I've seen similar areas that were in Indian ceremonial locations.
This tree was name "Arborvitae" (Latin for "Tree of Life"), in Canada, in the 16th century. It was named so because it cured the 'mysterious' disease suffered by sailors on long trips (TY to the Natives!). It contains vitamin C and cures scurvy. Conifers have 3 common foliage types- needle (pines), awl (common juniper), and scale (arborvitae). It's not a true Cedar, which have needle-like foliage (and not native to the North America). Not all conifers retain their foliage in winter, our Tamarack/Eastern Larch is an example. This tea is health food! TY for the video, reminding me.
OutsideFun1 Parts of it are very mountainous, craggy and beautiful, but as its part of the UK none of it is as natural as your virgin forests. I live in a very... tamed.... country. It does mean we dont have the problems of bears/wolves etc, but it also means we dont have the majesty of bears/wolves etc.... not sure which I prefer...
Is this the same or similar to American Arborvitae? Is American Arborvitae safe to make tea from? I live close to Pittsburgh, PA. I have lots of Arborvitae. The leaves look the same.
so i just made like 2 cups the past week, but everytime i tell somebody that you can make tea from cedar they immediately say things like "that cedars are super deadly/toxic" which kinda leaves me worried because now its not very clear for me anymore. can somebody please just point out why poeple say this in the first place? (and yeah i do know that yew, ponderosa and norfolk island pines are toxic.)
Cedar can become toxic when it is overused. I have heard you should not drink more than 1 cup a day and no more than 3 cups in a week. When taken in small doses it had medicinal properties, but when taken too much it becomes poisonous. I hope this helps !
+OutsideFun1 So I did some research on this tree but I just couldn't find if it had a look-alike that could be toxic, if I can properly identify it should I be worried about any other look-alikes?
You might get it confused with other plants in the Cupressaceae family (the family this plant is in). Some of them are highly toxic, but so long as you look at the fruits (plants of the Thuja genus have white to light purple or green and somewhat spiky fruits) then you should be fine. Most plants of the family don't have the exact same leaf shape anyway.
Que lugar, você, escolheu para fazer o chá, hein! Essas camadas segmentares; são de muito tempo, né! 7:11 eu, não tenho culpa, da evolução da pobreza. Tem um vídeo, mostrando o termômetro 3. 21 acho que não precisava agradar o ministério. Se você, estivesse para uma galáxia, muito distante; não é melhor, refletir a humildade, levada na bagagem? Será que você, anda com essa "ferramenta"
Its highly irresponsible to make a video like this without a disclaimer warning people of the toxic oils contained in eastern white cedar. You should take this video down and reupload it with a disclaimer.
