I didn’t realise that dog days were actually a thing as in the Florence and Machine song! I love the idea of cold tinctures and I have been drawn to marshmallow for its soothing properties. I am in the UK and we drink hot tea whatever the weather!
Thank You for the invitation to use Marshmallow flowers and leaves. The plant is SO beautiful and soft, I have always wondered if the flowers were medicinal as I have only read about the root. Great to know that the Whole Plant is safe to enjoy.
I adore the mallow family, hollyhock included! Their leaves and flowers are so soft indeed and edible! The root definitely gets the spotlight, but there are a lot of older folk remedies that include leaf and flower too.

I do love that song hah! Marshmallow is SO good as a cold infusion tea, I hope you try it :)

Hollyhock!!! I LOVE Hollyhocks. We have thousands of seeds, and plant them everywhere we live!
Same! They're so generous, self-seeding every year. And so so beautiful.
