room to dream: david lynch and the independent filmmaker, 2005

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

People of Germany: Maibowle party at an equestrian event in Bernkastel-Wittlich, Rheinland-Pfalz, Southwestern Germany. Maibowle aka Maitrank, Maiwein or Waldmeisterbowle, is the name of a German beverage that uses wine as a base. It’s served in spring, traditionally on the May Day holiday on May 1 - today. As usual, there are different versions but, traditionally, the base is made by steeping the fragrant herb woodruff (Galium odoratum, known in Germany as Waldmeister) that grows in the forests of Northern Europe in a white wine. This version of the drink is green. There also is a red version, as seen above, which might use raspberry syrup or strawberries. Ingredients such as brandy, sparkling wine or carbonated water and sugar may be added to flavour the drink and create a punch - hence the name Maibowle. Since strawberries are in season at this time of year, they’re often floated in the drink. The town of Arlon in Belgium has a similar specialty drink. Prost. :)🥂
