As the cold season sets in, your kitchen can become your apothecary. In this hands-on workshop, we’ll craft a collection of winter wellness tonics designed to strengthen immunity, build resilience, and keep you nourished through the colder months.

You’ll learn how to make potent herbal preparations such as Elderberry-Ginger Immune Bombs, a Kitchen Flu Tonic, and a deeply Mineral-Rich Medicinal Broth—all using ingredients you likely already have on hand, along with a few powerful herbal allies.

We’ll explore both the preventative and acute uses of these recipes, blending traditional wisdom with modern understanding of immune and digestive health.

In this class, you’ll learn:

  • How to use common kitchen ingredients—like garlic, ginger, turmeric, burdock, honey, and cinnamon—as powerful herbal medicine.
  • The benefits of specialized herbs such as elderberry, echinacea, nettles, oatstraw, mushrooms, seaweed, and jujube for immune, adrenal, and mineral support.
  • How to prepare three foundational tonics for the winter season:
    • Elderberry-Ginger Immune Bombs for acute immune support.
    • Kitchen Flu Bomb to shorten the duration and intensity of colds and flus.
    • Medicinal Mineral Broth to deeply nourish and replenish the body.
    • The role of food as medicine—how flavor, energetics, and synergy between ingredients enhance their healing potential.
    • How to adapt recipes for your unique constitution or seasonal needs.
    • Practical tips for storage, shelf life, and daily use of your tonics.You’ll leave with recipes, samples, and the confidence to turn everyday foods into potent allies for winter wellness.
