Show Notes

Most people think rainwater is just backup for dry days — but in the Caribbean, it’s been the heart of cooking, cleansing, and survival for generations. This episode takes you beyond barrels and tanks into the cultural, legal, and spiritual reality of water harvesting in island life. You’ll learn how to build your own rain catchment system, what’s safe and legal depending on your island, and how to use every drop in the kitchen — from rice and peas to herbal baths.Why did our elders wash with the first rainfall of the season?
Why do some kitchens bless the stove with rainwater before the first boil?
And how do you survive drought without plumbing — and still eat like royalty?This isn’t just about water. It’s about legacy, survival, and love.
Would your home survive two weeks without the tap? Or would you thrive like your ancestors did?
