Welcome to Moat Cottage Homesteading,
I'm Elissa and on this channel you will see my homesteading life.
I show you how to be more self sustainable & homestead in a small space.
You'll see how to grow organic food, use and preserve the harvest, raise backyard poultry, both Muscovy ducks and Chickens as well as breeding Mealworms and Crickets.
You will learn how to make natural remedies, get more prepared for emergency situations, how to organise the homestead, money saving ideas and how to live with less waste.
Here at Moat Cottage, we raise and grow and process some of our own free range meat, organic vegetables and fruit.
We grow all of our herbs for both eating and medicinal purposes as well as hunt, fish and forage.
We preserve our produce for the year ahead by canning, dehydrating and freezing and we work on being prepared for emergency situations.
We live using less waste, we recycle and upcycle and love finding what is needed for a project at the scrap yard, op shop or a garage sale, but only buy what is really needed.
We don't like plastic, chemicals and artificial fragrances and are trying to live an older style life balanced with this modern world lifestyle.
Good health and natural living has always been a high priority for our family and despite this two family members are living with auto immune diseases, myself included.
We focus on what we can do, when we can do it, stay positive and so I make these videos for you on my best days.
Much Love

How to make Homemade Raspberry Liqueur
With the raspberries in season it is time to make some Homemade Raspberry Liqueur. Whether you call it liqueur, liquor, cordial or moonshine, this stuff is delicious and can be made with almost any kind of fruit. Currently I have raspberry, cherry, and rhubarb on the go.
Whatever fruit you use, it takes three simple ingredients:
2 cups of fruit
3/4 cup of sugar
1 bottle of vodka
plus a mason jar.
All you need to do is put the washed fruit in the jar, pour sugar on top and vodka on top of that. Then shake it well, and shake it every day for three months. Strain through some cheesecloth, and you have a great after dinner liqueur or cocktail base.
The raspberry liqueur is used in one of our Hockey-themed Pink Whitney cocktails that you can find at
Rhubarb liqueur is used in our original cocktail, the Hippy Love God. You can find that recipe at

Blueberry liqueur is a subtle and delicious drink great for sipping by itself or adding to cocktails. The best news is it's easy and fast to make at home!
You can use frozen berries, which actually have some benefit. Freezing breaks the berries up a little allowing the alcohol easier access during maceration. But I like to pick our own fresh berries, in fact its turned into a bit of a tradition for me.
I prefer to work with a higher ABV/Proof spirit. But this will work with a store-bought vodka as well (adjust the ratios accordingly)
My final ratios:
5 parts strained maceration
1 part liquid honey
1.5 parts simple syrup
(proof down to your prefered ABV/proof. I prefer around 30-35% abv)

If anyone has tried making this with dried blueberries like this let me know!
