Скачать или смотреть Making vegan biscuits with foraged ingredients 🍓

These are some of the most delicious biscuits and I make these (or a variant of them) for every course I host! They are fantastic as a vehicle of wild flavour and this time of year the Common Hogweed seed comes into its own 🌲🌿

Warning with common hog weed!! It can be easily mistaken for giant hogweed or other similar looking toxic plants by beginners!! Make sure you have a trustworthy, reputable book and/or guide when collecting this spice 🌿

🍓 Add the water and berries to a jam pot or large pan
🍓boil till the berries release all their juice
