It was a wonderful Saturday night with our kids sitting by the fire pit and sipping on sweet woodruff laced May wine. I make it the same way that my father did with lemon balm, sliced strawberries , raw honey, Riesling and sweet woodruff and Sauternes . You simply slice the strawberries, add the other ingredients and let it all steep together for an hour or two. It was a simple and wonderful evening, nice and breezy and Watching my son pick the Riesling soaked strawberries out of the pitcher brought back so many sweet memories. I suppose that you could drink this anytime, but something about saving it for May when the woodruff is in bloom and the strawberries are sweet like the springtime air makes it seem just right. #may #maywine #maibowle #sweetwoodruff #reiing #livinginseason #seasonalpriestess #bethschreibmangehring #herbs #herbalist #asanctuarycalledhome #kitchengarden #potagersforasmallplanet #womenwhogarden (at The Herban Inn) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPQ-JlzJ2xK/?utm_medium=tumblr
