Native American Herbal, Plant Knowledge

Drink it as a cold or hot tea. To freeze it, add 2 tablespoons of lemon juice or cider

vinegar per pint to the extract, freeze (dont fill all the way) in small milk cartons. To

use, thaw then sweeten to taste with honey or maple syrup.

There's a Midè teaching that after death, on the

Spirit Road, the spirit will encounter the temptation of

a giant strawberry, and if greedy will remain there

eating until turned into a frog. With store

strawberries, I figure I'm in no real danger, but a giant

tasty wild strawberry....

Mmmm....and if they have a fondue pot of melted bittersweet chocolate to dip the

strawberry chunks into right by it ... well, I can hope to maybe be a cute frog anyway

with that yummy stuff to pig out, or frog out on ....
