HOW TO TAP BIRCH SAP | Health benefits & a taste of spring

Tapping birch sap is one of my favorite parts of the spring. Birch sap has a very sweet taste and lots of health benefits, and it has been a part of the nordic tradition for hundreds of years.

Back in time, they said "drinking marrow into the bones" about drinking birch sap. It was a way of regaining energy after a long cold winter. Sometimes, they even gave it to the livestock, to give the cows, goats and horses some extra energy.
It contains minerals and vitamins like calcium, potassium, magnesium, manganese and sugar. And also proteins, amino acids and enzymes.

In this video I show you step by step how I do when I tap birch sap. The sap can only be tapped in the early spring for about 3-4 weeks. From when the snow and the frozen ground has melted, until the first leaves starts to bloom. Depending on where you live it might differ a lot. In the south of Sweden it's around march-april, and where I live in the north of Sweden it is usually the beginning of may until the end of may.

For many of you (if you even have birch trees where you live) it might already be to late. But I hope that you feel inspired to try it out next spring or whenever you get a chance.

I hope you liked the video!
