Sea buckthorn

[redbird]

I tried a sea buckthorn drink this evening, because it was on the table at the post-Scintillation picnic. My immediate thought was that it was odd, so i took another sip to figure out whether I liked it.

I did, enough that i finished the cup, one small sip at a time, and went back for more.

It’s sour, but not acidic like citrus. I don’t think I would want to drink it quickly if I was hot or thirsty.

I probably won’t look for more, in part because Cattitude didn’t like it, and Adrian didn’t want to try it. I am glad I tried it.

I like sea buckthorn in solid desserts, which you get a lot around the Baltic.

Interesting adventure of the palate :)

I've been wanting to grow sea buckthorn, just for fun, and actually bought a set of five plants. Of course, the male plant was the only one that died, so no little fruits (berries?) for me until I replace it.
