Dear Eclipse,

Do you eat anything forest food? Like berries for example.

“I have lived in this forest my entire existence. Even before my imprisonment.

Of course I eat food from the forest.”

How to make cedar flavored sugar:

If you have access to incense cedar saplings, this is a great way to extract their unique flavor (like a minty vanilla). It will also work with other edible trees (be sure to do a small batch first to check flavor).

Step 1: Add a layer of sugar to the bottom of your container (this is a commercial 20L storage container).

Step 2: Press small pieces of the saplings (which you washed & dried) into the sugar. Try to do this as soon after cutting the saplings as possible so they don't dry out. Ideally they should be a little sticky. Fall is the best time of year as the trees should be at the peak of dryness and flavor.

Continue adding pieces of the tree, cut so they lay flat, until you have a shallow layer. Don't go too thick as you want to maximize contact between the trees and the sugar.

This is about as thick as you want to make the layers. You should still be able to see some of the sugar underneath. Now add more sugar to cover as shown below.

Keep layering branches and sugar until you have filled the container. Add a bit more sugar to the top & poke down any stray bits of branch into the sugar with a clean spoon. Then let it sit for several months to a year to infuse (a year is good because then you can reuse the container for the next batch). If you have a basement/cool spot, that would be a good place to store this while infusing. When it attains a nice flavor, remove the branches (they can now be composted) and store the sugar dry until needed. This is lovely to sprinkle on baked goods or make holiday sugar cookies.
