prepared Sea-Buckthorn oil
ash the berries,
and press to remove juice (they are very soft and squashy).
Drain the mass of pulp, seeds and skins and blend it in a food processor.
Mix olive oil (or sunflower oil, or almond oil) with the blended mass
(2 parts oil to 3 parts blended pulp) and leave for 3 weeks in a dark
place at room temperature (25oC), re-mixing occasionally. After this time,
carefully pour off the oil layer and store in a bottle, preferably in
a dark, cool place. The oil incorporates the vitamins and bio-active components
from the berries, and with suitable storage will keep its healing activity
for a long time.
Sea-Buckthorn
juice: healthy and refreshing
or a healthy
and refreshing drink, blend the fresh juice and pulp from the berries
with water (1:1), or with water and apple juice (1:1:1). You get a refreshing
drink with a pastel-orange colour and a delicate aromatic aroma. But remember
that the berries have an oily component (9%) which will separate on standing;
you may want to re-blend the juice shortly before drinking. CHEERS!
