Making Violet Water

Spring has sprung! And I’m in love with violet water!

Here’s my tip of the week:

Fill a jar about 1/3 full of violets. Before you pick them: Pause a moment to connect with the violets. Ask permission. If they say no, move on. If they say yes, thank them. Now fill your jar. Pour boiling water over them. Watch the water turn the most beautiful shade of blue/green! Then drink. I usually let mine steep overnight outside to soak in the moon energy.

It’s sweet and SO good for you! It’s rich in vitamin C & A, magnesium, calcium, antioxidants, reduces inflammation, soothes the digestive system, and supports heart health. Powerhouse.

And how about those dandelion greens!? They’re good for everything.

I believe that Mother Nature provides us with early spring beauty and nutrient-dense food to recharge us after a long winter. Thanks MN!
