hey guys Eric here tactical intelligence net so I'm just collecting some of these violet leaves I'm going to show you guys how to do in infusion it's pretty much a really high potency version of a tea and I'm just going to collect a bunch of these from outside bring them in show you what I usually do with them typically I just dry them and so that I can store them for for use for a later time when they're not growing also if you remember last week when I posted the blog article on the violet you can find different recipes and things on how to eat these as well as how to use them medicinally for different ailments so I'm just going to show you one of these recipes this week all right so I got a good full-size amount of the beef so I'm just gonna just blossom the next step is really just to place these leaves on the dehydrator trays now these can be dried equally as well outside you don't need a dehydrator just makes it easy you can just do it inside all right now I'm just going to throw this cover on and turn this sucker on you all right these are done and dried you can see that they're pretty crispy and that they pretty much go into not powder but like something the consistency of spices dried spices that's that's what you want with these kind of leaves so I'm just going to take what I need for the infusion and the rest I'm going to store in the mason jar for future use what I have here is a quarter cup of these dried leaves the violet leaves I'm going to put it in the mason jar and just fill it with all the way up to this right below the lid with boiling hot water and basically let that sit for a good six to eight hours well you didn't see in the video is I actually preheated this glass just a little bit under a hot tap so the glass doesn't have too much of a shock with the boiling water go inside so I'm basically going to fill this up with the boiling water almost at the top and just let this sit for a good six to eight hours and so it an effusion again it's pretty much just like a tea except that's just left longer so they can really draw out the medicinal properties and other valuable elements of the plant matter so all I'm going to do now is just use one of these guys and strain it into another mason jar so that I can just store it in the refrigerator all right so that's what it looks like after you filter out the leaves you can see that there is a slight yellowish tinge now that this you can again like I said just store right in your refrigerator this infusion can be drink cold or you can warm it up it is great for mouth sores strep throat any kind of sore or infection in the in the mouth or in your digestive digestive system this is also great for rheumatoid conditions so for those who might be suffering with autoimmune diseases or other kind of rheumatoid conditions violet is a good friend you
