Hi

In the dvds we produce and sell we explain how to make a very simple but very effective stove

[EdjeBos]

How many acorns do you need for one cup? And what type of fuel produces that bright red flame? By the way, your Labrador is a beauty!

[gawletap]

It all depends on how strong you like your coffee, but on average about 4 or 5 acorns will do. But becarefull, this small film on you tube is taken from a 1 hour dvd that we produce, where everything is explained in much more detail. There are dangers to using acorns as they contain tannis, but its the psychology of being able to make a drink when you are in a survival situation I am trying to teach and up lifting benifits it provides.

i just cook it on the stove and use the coffee griinder, then put it in the coffee pot. lol

[gawletap]

And you manage to do ALL that by yourself, whos a clever boy then

Of course it's not REALLY coffee. It takes a lvl 60 wizard to make real coffee out of acorns, bro :)

while boiling them, you pour off the brownish water, but dont pour cold water over them to boil again as the cold sets the starches in the acorns and you dont want that, so have boiling water ready to pour on the acorns, and keep repeating till water is then clear...

thats the calmest dog i ever seen i wish he was mine

To remove the tanins in aceons put them in a pot of water and boil them and keep changing the water until there is no more brownish water. then you can rost them.but white oak should be safe with out boiling the water

[MysticKnight38]

I got to try that.... I've made and had dandelion tea... tastes like orange pekoe. Pick the leaves and boil... too easy :)

[Codenamebravo]
