Raspberry Tincture
Raspberries are said to have been discovered by the Olympian gods themselves while searching for berries on Mount Ida. These berries are indigenous to Asia Minor and North America, with the first records of domestication coming from the writings of the ancient Roman agriculturist Palladius. In medieval times raspberries had a variety of uses including the creation of paintings and illuminated manuscripts using the juice of the berries. The first mass cultivation of raspberries was said to be requested by King Edward the 1st (1272-1307), which led to the popularity of the berries spreading throughout Europe. Teas of raspberry leaves were taken by the women of the Cherokee, Iroquois, and Mohawk nations in North America, and have earned the approval of the authoritative British Herbal Compendium.
