How to make Goldenrod infused honey!

In this quick video, I show you how to make a Goldenrod (Solidago)infused honey and I talk on what she's good for!

[@ChristopherJones16]

If anyone deserved a "Like" its this woman. 15 minutes and I didnt get bored, and could listen to her talk all day about this stuff. I have Goldenrod growing right outside my back door and just bought a Goldenrod Honey from the store (im guess Goldenrod Honey is honey that was gathered from hives placed in fields of Goldenrod. So I'd love to make this with that specific Honey. Btw have you tried making Honey with Goldenrod AND Yarrow soaking in it? Also if one wanted to stop or prevent the honey from fermenting they could place the Honey in the refrigerator. Yeast needs a specific warm temperature to ferment.

[@opheliabells]

yeah at the end April did bring that up. I'm going to try with some yarrow like you mentioned. Will let you know in a few months. Did you ever try it?

[@debbiesaunders3947]

We are listening !!! Who knew about goldenrod?? not me ! You are so awesome...thanks

[@kathrynl2009]

Just love your laid back and encouraging approach to herbals! Your vids are so accessible... thank you! Btw... I love making golden rod apple cider vinegar! I've used in salads... it's awesome!

[@roanholley-hime3275]

WOW... you are FANTASTIC! You have an effortless way about you and a tremendously stimulating way of engaging the viewer.. Smart smart lady.. wacky and funny and full of the vigour of life! What fun it would be to have you as a neighbour! I hear you discuss the adventures you get up to and I can't help laughing as I get up to much the same.. Recently I went to harvest grape vine leaves.. I found myself climbing trees to get at the leaves. I discovered a decent crop of grapes at the same time..this was fun..but it was made exciting as I had to keep an eye on the herd of steer grazing nearby! My harvest ended up including some lovely little wild apples too.. so.. a tiny dreamy jar of jelly or two as a result of a fantastic walk in a meadow.. It makes me feel good inside to hear of others loving and becoming friends with their green spaces.. Thank you for taking the plunge in deciding to share with us .. Your passion and knowledge are very obvious.. and inspiring!

[@kleineroteHex]

I put my goldenrod in vinegar and use winter and spring for my salads. I love the air bubbles going up in the jar. Made your lemon balm elixir today! Oh need to label it!!!

[@sheisofthewoods]

Yay!

[@darlafischer9869]

I'm in the first steps of learning to make tinctures and I LOVE your videos! Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[@kimprocarione5473]

Great information! I loved watching the bubbles rise! It was like a lava lamp! ❤❤❤

[@julieferguson7446]

Thank you for taking all the time to teach others what you know . I share you videos with others all the time . I lie in Henry, TN. And I find that slot of you videos pop up around the time that the things you are talking about are in bloom here . Like this one Goldenrod is every where right now . So again thank you for sharing .

[@kimsmithskincare6641]

I have goldenrod growing all over the place here!! I'm so glad I found your videos on how I can use this lovely lady! 😍

[@joanbewley4029]

I appreciate the time and effort you put in these videos, to share your knowledge and extremely useful information. It's refreshing to see a real person sharing and encouraging others. I'm in southeast Missouri and I don't remember seeing so much goldenrod as there was this fall. My Granddaughter and I gathered lots of the goldenrod and I made the tincture and the infused honey, it will be ready to use in a few days. THANK YOU MUCH

[@Hcmarkuz]

The air bubbles floating to the top ❤ Thank you again April! Appreciate your sharing and your spirit!

[@sallyward9218]

Such a wholesome lady❣️ God bless you abundantly ❣️

[@barefoottreehugger6125]

This is so cool! My kids looove honey! I'm thinking yarrow for the winter cough coming up soon ! Thanks so much for your time And wisdom. Im Always here!

[@jameslahey6732]

Love listening to you, very informative and you have a beautiful personality. Keep up the great videos 💕

[@beardedgardener1107]

I aspire to be an Ovate on the path of Druidry. Your videos and knowledge are teaching me so much on how to help myself and others.

[@maureenspessard521]

Too many options!!! 😂😂😂 I'll need to rewatch. Thank you!

[@miadacus6663]

Saw what I thought was goldenrod growing along the highway today. Stopped and got a for sure identification. So happy you here telling me what to do with it. Thank you ma’am.

[@onicholas862]

I’ve been seeing goldenrod everywhere’s. She is trying to get my attention, I feel like. So of course I came on here to see if you had any videos on her. And you do! Yay. Thank you so much for all the help and wisdom/knowledge you provide.

[@sheisofthewoods]

Yes she's for sure saying "Hey you! I'm over here!" 😊

[@susanrogers952]

I love the idea of the goldenrod, but I also like the idea of using horehound for those winter sore throats and colds. I have a bunch of it growing and love that astringent taste that it has, with honey it would be dynamite!

[@littleboober]

i do horehound and chamomile in honey for sore thrats etc

[@evangelinewillows52]

You have been so busy!! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us! 🙂

[@autumntrussell5934]

I just found you on here and I'm so happy I did. You are just wonderful!

[@boohoo5750]

Enjoy Your videos, You’re like a hidden treasure! Thank you

[@cjkanjial]

I thoroughly enjoy your friendly and warm presentation. I want to bring to your notice, that in India, honey is never cooked, as it turns poisonous. Please do your own research as well. I make many "Arishtams" Tonic, by the same methodology, but the strained liquid is used as it is, not treated, as it is a complete medicine. Look forward to more videos. Thank you.

[@candyarmstrong5400]

People have been cooking with honey forever and nobody has ever been harmed

[@opheliabells]

Interesting, I looked up Arishtams for a brief read and so you ferment herbs, spices, fruits, etc in water with honey?

[@patriciagates9115]

I am so delighted that your light found me.

[@songyardbird2513]

I was mesmerized by the sound of your voice and by watching the massive slow flow of air rising through the honey. I had to watch a second time to get the info. Thanks for this video. Song

[@mboudreaux2950]

I just made a poultice with my harvested my Yarrow and can’t wait to try making yarrow infused honey!! I wasn’t too sure about consuming the yarrow, but hell, I’m gonna give it a shot. I enjoyed watching and I feel like I’ve learned some science/molecular info. just listening to your explanations, plus I’m not as intimidated to try. Thank you & now for Goldenrod harvesting!! 😊

[@Lioness_of_Gaia]

Did you try/like/at least not get really sick from using Yarrow internally? I adore Yarrow.

[@mboudreaux2950]

@@Lioness_of_Gaia So, no I haven’t tried consuming Yarrow yet. 😋 I was a couple months out & recovering from major surgery when I saw this and was too afraid to “go there” at the time. How much do you consume and how?

[@Lioness_of_Gaia]

@@mboudreaux2950 😆 No worries. I was just curious. I hope you're recovering quickly. 💚 (I haven't tried it either, btw)

[@Jodejjr]

Fantastic!! You have taught me so much!!!

[@allthingsbethie]

I love your spontaneous laughter!

[@keeperofstories1]

I’m so glad you showed up on my feed..

[@velmamonica2447]

[@isabelladavis1363]

Wonderful information such a beautiful plant…thank you for your wealth of knowledge…stay blessed

[@Cashby2001]

Thank you for this!!! I had just collected some golden rod... wasn’t sure what I wanted to do with it.

[@cindyholcomb2159]

Thank you! I share you with anybody who wants to learn this art! I learn so much from you! And you're right! I am smart enough to do this!

[@melodycapehartmedina2264]

You are being listened to! Thank you for sharing!

Youre a great teacher ...easy and fun to listen to

[@moniqueking5]

I am so glad I found your channel , thank you so much

[@GrubbGardenBonnie]

I am searching for things to use Goldenrod in. This is the first I heard of infusing Honey with it. I will try this. Thank you for the video!

[@Frankie_902]

This video couldn't have popped up at a better time since Golden Rod is so plentiful right now. I've been trying to find a good way to infuse it. Thank you!!

[@sandiellis8303]

Can you walk us through the fermentation and double broiler method? I would love to see this hands on!

[@joelleholland8564]

I love the infused honey videos. I have a bunch on my shelf now and love the mint honey! One question. You recommend using raw honey but if you then simmer it for an hour haven't you done away with the benefits of raw honey?

[@scswampfoxnews8431]

Just found goldenrod, I'm so loving her. Also found elephant food in my back yard. Try to learn more about her. Thanks for all that you do. Bless it be

[@AlexMartinez-sy1of]

This is great thank you! The goldenrod has been blooming around where I live for the past couple of weeks, hopefully I can still find some!

[@indigoshandmade]

Oh I want to make an infused honey now. Thanks for another great video.

[@sheisofthewoods]

Thanks for watching!

[@gloriakelley7383]

Excited to try this!

I enjoy watching your videos. Learning alot

[@ZonaIEastham]

This is awesome doing this tomorrow.

[@RoseRedRoseWhite]

Good information bears repeating, esp in wildcrafting. My house is uneven with heat/cold so I think I will stick with tincture for now to ensure I don't have a batch go off.

[@3pearsonboys]

I just discovered goldenrod and your channel.....LOVE it! Keep them coming :)

[@francinepitarch6061]

Hi April, i found some goldenrod and the leaves are green. I made a tincture and so happy I found this infused honey. I love your videos.

You're so informative and entertaining.

[@mikaelknowlton3546]

Thank you got making videos like this! I have a question tho. If we had a vodka to the mix what are the steps after 3-6weeks? Do we still strain and simmer? Thanks!

[@annaalishauskas]

You rock! Thank you for so generously sharing your hard-won knowledge.

[@lavellnutrition]

Thanks April!......love your video. We should be teaching this stuff in school.

Thank you! I have ordered some yarrow and golden rod although there is a large field across from me there hasn’t been any of the plants you have shown so better if I just grow what I need, also I did find wild daisies but because they grow in my companies dirt pit plant and a lot of dust that makes up road base and caleche concrete I am Leary of picking them

[@kkane8809]

As far as honey goes.. I subscribe to the idea that your Local Raw Honey (in your town or state) is great for our allergies & sinuses .. thank you for your content! I am in love with ya! Told my hubby already 😂

[@Large011]

Hi April, I'm new to forging and the processing of plant matter. I've watched a few of your videos and haven't seen you wash the plants. Do you do this beforehand and is it necessary? Thanks a bunch 💐for sharing your skills with us.

You can put the lid on tight and lay the jar on its side and roll it several times slowly to mix it.
