Discovered Robin Hartford's #EatWeeds podcast, it's great so far. Did you know UK native comfrey (Symphytum officinale) is edible whilst Russian Comfrey (S. uplandicum) isn't?

Big scoop of dandy chai. There's a pot of this brewing on the wood burner most days. Dandelion roots, great digestive/liver tonic, mineral rich and much tastier than most folk expect. I mix 1:4 roasted root to dried for a rich coffee flavour. Its toasty, earthy and sweet. Added chai spices, including some foraged common hogweed seeds and homegrown fennel. Festive aromas. #foragedtonics #wildbrew #eatweeds #wildspices #dandelion #wildroots #thepeoplesmedicine
