Young Bowyer:
I have some experience with juniper, havent found a straight piece for a bow yet, ive made tea from it, and ive used it for cleaning pots when i cant find cedar, but, are the berries edible? and when should i harvest? method of preparation ect. Thanks

JackCrafty:
The berries have been used as a flavoring for meat and alcholic beverages for a long time.  I think boiling the berries to make a tea is very common also.
