05.24.17 // Delicious Herbal Syrups with Abby Artemisia // 6:30-8:30pm
$ 20.00
Remember what Mary Poppins said about a spoonful of sugar helping the medicine go down? Well it’s true of herbs, too, for kids and adults. Our herbs don’t have to be bitter (unless you want them to, but that’s a different class) or choked down.
Syrups are a tasty way to take our herbs. It’s also a great way to preserve an herbal formula for something you take a lot of and don’t want to have to make into a tea every time. Our family drinks elderberry syrup every day and it keeps away those nasty bugs. Did you know that elderberry is a super food and binds with the flu virus to keep it from infecting us? It’s also so much cheaper to make it yourself! You’ll get to see a demonstration of how elderberry syrup is made, and take home your own recipe, along with one to make your own locally harvested cough syrup. These syrups will include honey, and don’t worry, you’ll get a sample.
