In this experiential class, you will learn all about how to make herbal mocktails using infused syrups, bitters and more!
Did you know that the original sodas are actually derived from herbal drinks that were brewed to support your digestion, immunity and overall health? Unfortunately in our modern world the herbal benefits have been stripped from these drinks in favor of low grade sugar and artificial ingredients!
You’ll learn some yummy recipes to make delicious mocktails that are crowd-pleasing and support your wellness! These drinks are great for a special occasion, or anytime you desire.
As part of class we’ll sample homemade ginger tonic, root beer, and fun syrups you can make without too much effort at all featuring herbs like butterfly pea flower, rose and lavender.
This class is open to those who are curious, and want to deepen in their awareness of working with what I call our “green allies.”
These regular herbal classes with Crystal Marie Higgins at The Center SF will each be fun and interactive ways to learn more about the power of what is called “kitchen herbalism” - wonderful herbs that you can experiment with in the kitchen (and their properties for your health).
The deep and powerful wisdom of the herbal realm has mostly been forgotten in our modern culture. Plants, flowers, trees and herbs are incredible allies for our health. There is deep solace to be found in the simplest of rituals like sipping a cup of herbal tea or rubbing oil on your temples and feet at the end of the day. And knowing what herbs can support your system when you feel sick or overwhelmed is powerful.
NOTE : Herbalism doesn’t have to be put in the place of either or - working with plants can support anything else you are doing to support your system and overall health. All of our ancestors at some point had a deep connection to the land, to the herbs and plants or green realm, to the animals and waters in order to survive. This connection to our roots and deeper belonging was severed, and it is time to reclaim the wisdom we all long for again.
