Yes folks, today’s herbal adventure brings us to Tolt-McDonald Park in Carnation as we all go and pick Rose Petals.

WHY?

TO make one of my FAVORITE herbal creations… Rose Petal Honey

1. Pick a bunch of Rose Petals. Wild rose, domesticated, rugosa… any fragrant rose will do.

2. Fill any size jar with the petals. Make it a light pack. Not to few, but not in their really tight either.

3. Pour honey in to the jar until it is full.

4. Cap the jar.

5. Turn the jar over every time you pass by it for a few days.

6. After a few days, open up and taste! It will get better with time, but it is certainly ready after just a few days to a week.

7. Spread on scones, toast or anything you want a delicious spread on.

YUM!

Hey, if you are going to take herbal medicine, it might as well taste good, right?

ADDED NOTE: Make sure the rose petals you are picking (whether wild or domesticated) have not been sprayed.
