¶Pre-prepping

* What are you aiming for?
    * what are the nutritional needs
    * which flavours are you looking for
    * research, collect, combine existing recipes 
    * ###
* What is in stock?
    * reshape the aimed recipes based on that
        (rather than buying new ingredients for fashion recipes)

¶Kitchen prep basics

* clean all working surfaces
* prepare utensils and containers needed
* pre-heat pots/pans if you're working with them
    * turn on the fire & place pot/pan on it
    * if necessary, quick clean with some kitchen paper and water
        do this when they are hot
    * add oil ~20sec - 1 min before you actually start to frie something
* keep aims in mind; at this stage improvisation seldom adds any value to the result
    e.g.: never "boil" vegetables in their own juice
        → fry, glase, ... check existing recipes

    https://oursimplehomestead.com/all-natural-beeswax-lotion-recipebeeswax-olive-oil-lotion-recipe/

Ingredients:
    * 4 ts Shea butter
    * 2 ts Saint Johns Wort 
    * 2 ts Bee wax
    * 40 drops Eucalyptus EO

Recipe:
    * Melt all ingredients together au bain marie
        (actually they should not touch the water)
    * Add EO
    * Blend and whip untill it gets harder
    * Poor in cleaned jars

Notes:
    * bee wax has very high melting  temperature
        so next time, I'll start with that and add other ingredients after
    * needs a bit less then 2 (big) ts I added now
        as it makes it very hard once again compact
    * needs to be poored in jars before it gets hard again, else its impossible to get it in the jars?
        esp when it has similar amounts of beewax...

"""
Impatiens parviflora is a species of annual herbaceous plants in the family Balsaminaceae, native to some areas of Eurasia, naturalized elsewhere and found in damp shady places. Impatiens parviflora can grow in sandy, loamy, and clay soils and prefer moist soil.
(...)
Impatiens parviflora has many uses. If cooked, the leaves are completely edible. The seeds can be consumed either raw or cooked. Impatiens parviflora is also used as a treatment for warts, ringworm, and nettle stings. It is also used as a hair rinse to relieve an itchy scalp.[1]
"""
→ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impatiens_parviflora

CAUTION:
    """
    Regular ingestion of large quantities of these plants can be dangerous due to their high mineral content[172]. This report, which seems nonsensical, might refer to calcium oxalate. This mineral is found in I. capensis and so is probably also in other members of the genus. It can be harmful raw but is destroyed by thoroughly cooking or drying the plant[K]. People with a tendency to rheumatism, arthritis, gout, kidney stones and hyperacidity should take especial caution if including this plant in their diet[238].

USAGE:
    """
    Jonge loten kunnen gekookt worden (let op: de bladeren bevatten waarschijnlijk calciumoxalaat).  De zaden kunnen rauw of gekookt genuttigd worden. Het verzamelen van zaad is echter moeizaam, doordat het verspreidingsmechanisme van de plant gericht is op het wegschieten van rijpe zaden.

¶[!] BEVERAGES/TEA/UPPER— Earl grey

History:
"""
tea became extremely popular in England after their dogged pursuit of imperialism and lines were drawn between “good” teas and “bad” teas. The rich got the good stuff and us poories got the bad stuff. To make it more palatable, the “bad” tea was enhanced with bergamot oil or something similar to help it taste closer to the good stuff. 
"""
→ https://sporked.com/article/what-is-earl-grey-tea/

Components:
"""
Bergamot orange (Citrus bergamia) is a small citrus tree which blossoms during the winter and is grown commercially in Calabria, Italy. It is probably a hybrid of Citrus limetta (sweet lime) and Citrus aurantium (bitter orange).
"""
→ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earl_Grey_tea

Brewing:
"""
The brewing process varies significantly, depending on personal preference. Opinions vary on the preferred method of boiling the water, as well as the ideal steeping time. Steeping for too long results in a bitter flavour; two to three minutes is a common recommendation, although some recommend as long as five minutes in order to "enjoy the full benefit of the citrus aroma.
"""
→ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earl_Grey_tea

Varieties
"""

• There are different varieties of a tea known as Lady Grey; the two most common kinds are cornflower Lady Grey and citrus Lady Grey, which combine Earl Grey tea with cornflower and Seville oranges, respectively. "Lady Grey" is a trademark of Twinings.
• A variety called Russian Earl Grey often contains ingredients such as citrus peels and lemon grass in addition to the usual black tea and bergamot.
