lilac water

on a sleepy spring day, a few years ago, i ran into the awesome herbalist chris marano. he told me about lilac water. lilacs are in full bloom on cape cod and other parts of new england (maybe in your area too). you can make a delicious flower water with them to drink. simply take a stalk of lilac and add it to water for 12 to 24 hrs (while in the fridge). here a gallon water jar is shown. take them out after their steeping time and drink the water within a couple of days. store in the fridge and strain into cups throughout the day to drink. it is energetically good to uplift the heart and spirit. have a beautiful may day!
