While neither of these recipes and tasks had no home-grown, from my garden, ingredients, I still wanted to share in my Cultivated Apothecary series because they are both homemade and natural items for consumption or use on any homestead or in any home.
The simple and easy recipe is in my DTube video... takes minutes to make and depending on your personal usage, this amount made should last about 2-3 months. I don't usually keep the powder stored for longer than that; plus I love the essence from the Ylang-Ylang that I tend to overdo the powdering some days.
This is great for those hot and humid summer days and you start to develop a rash, or chafe, when working out in the heat.
So Yeah I grabbed every Grolsch bottle I had in the Golden D kitchen this morning, clean and sterilized them then around 7am, I started bottling up the last gallon and a half of red (cranberry and apple) wine I had in the glass jugs. They had fermented long enough (and in all reality I should have bottled up late last week... but life got in the way) and it was time to get them to their final destination.
I ended up with nine Grolsch bottles full plus this half gallon Mason Jar almost filled up. I am quite pleased with my first season EVER making and bottling wine. These will make some nice holiday gifts for family and some of Mr Golden D's co-workers.
