I live in a place with no thistle growing (horses eat everything) and I really miss my thistle drink. Just be sure not to use the flowers, they’re too woody.

You munch it up in a blender with water and a bit of mint, strain it (unless you have a high speed blender which can pulverize the thistles), then drink and oh my, it's indescriably vitalizing. Tastes like a combination of cucumber and wheatgrass with a hint of mint (from the mint you add for freshness and flavour). A herbalist friend of mine turned me on to this. Here's to the thistle!

It just needs to be tested to find the solution. I have not looked at this weed for extermination, but I am sure it can be done now that the tought has surfaced. Thanks--I will look into it.
