cleavers

Ran into an acquaintance at the grocery store who was raving about a spring tonic with cleavers.  I'd never heard of the plant but as soon as I looked it up I knew exactly what it was.  And it's in my backyard.  And all around.

Wanting to get in on the lymphatic cleansing, I picked a bunch and put it in a quart jar to steep overnight. 

Here is more info.  And here. In early summer I want to remember to make a tincture as this could be a quite useful thing to have around.
