Kiva,
I have a recipe called Damiana Chocolate love liquer. I used a recipe from Rosemary Gladstar. It’s quite good, but I’m not sure where the blog is to post it.
Kiva Rose
Helena, you need to have your own blog or website to post it on and then I link to it from here. It’s also probably better to post an original recipe that you created.

Hey, Kiva!

Here’s my blog post on herbal honey: http://tobyspeople.com/life/herbal-honey
I don’t have an original recipe… it’s mainly just me talking about the general idea and how awesome it is. Not sure if that would help anyone who isn’t an herbalism newbie like myself, but ah well… I just wanted to come to a party!

Yes, the original recipe is Ms. Gladstar’s but I’ve added some coltsfoot, a little ginger root and some chocolate peppermint leaves along with the Damiana. Sorry I missed the blog, it’s been a crazy month of July with family visiting from Sweden. If anyone is interested in the recipe, just let me know. Coltsfoot has already ended it’s season up here, but come next spring we’ll be ready again.
Kiva Rose
Helena, you haven’t missed it yet, the deadline is tonight and I’ll the post up tomorrow. Feel free to submit, just post your recipe on a blog or website (your own or someone willing to share there’s with you for a post) and send the specific link to me.

I left it on FB as well last night, but I’ll also put it here if that’s easier:

Her Roots
Medicine Woman, Mother, Poet and Barefoot Devotee to the Sweet Medicine Canyon. I'm a river and a wild thing, with a history as deep and strange as the mountains I'm married to. My music is the water and wind as it flows through my flute. I live in a little cabin on a mesa, I sleep under the stars and grow weeds in a garden made of volcanic stone, mountain soil and the blessings of myriad bacteria.
I and my partners, Wolf and Loba, run the Animá Lifeways & Herbal School on an 80 acre botanical sanctuary in the Gila bioregion of southwest New Mexico. We host workshops, provide personal counsel and healing consultations, caretake and restore this precious land and organize the annual Traditions in Western Herbalism Conference, held near Santa Fe each year.
