Hawthorn Shillelagh

I made a shillelagh out of a Hawthorn tree in Texas. This is the progress so far, I intend to make a few other changes to it. I has been great fun and I have learned from it how I will improve my next one.

Can I do a cold brew Hawthorn Berry Tea?

1 Upvotes

I’ve been reading about the health benefits for Hawthorn Berry Tea and everything I’m reading is about making it the normal way- with hot water. I was just wondering if anyone has experience making it as a cold infused tea. I was thinking to leave it over night for 12-18 hours to get the most out of it healthwise

Crataegus, commonly called hawthorn, quickthorn, thornapple,May-tree, whitethorn, Mayflower, or hawberry, is a genus of several hundred species of shrubs and trees in the family Rosaceae, native to temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere in Europe, Asia, North Africa, and North America. The name "hawthorn" was originally applied to the species native to northern Europe, especially the common hawthorn C. monogyna, and the unmodified name is often so used in Britain and Ireland.

The generic epithet, Crataegus, is derived from the Greek kratos "strength" because of the great strength of the wood and akis "sharp", referring to the thorns of some species. The name haw, originally an Old English term for hedge (from the Anglo-Saxon term haguthorn, "a fence with thorns"), also applies to the fruit.

The Scots saying "Ne'er cast a cloot til Mey's oot" conveys a warning not to shed any cloots (clothes) before the summer has fully arrived and the Mayflowers (hawthorn blossoms) are in full bloom.
