Winters Frost

“That is the more common way to do it” Riva agreed, and maybe it was better - for a pack wolf. To have so many varieties at your fingertips, to have a herb garden to stock your stores. Riva was on the go, and she needed quick, efficient remedies that stored well.

“Well, if I need something to stay mostly dry, i’ll use salt. Vinegar keeps things for a longer shelf life, but the herb can lose its potency over time. It's also a little harder on the stomach.
