Description

For generations, elderberry syrup has been a staple in home herbal medicine cabinets. Making it yourself is simple, rewarding, and allows you to know exactly what goes into every bottle. Whether you’re looking to support your family’s wellness throughout the season or have a comforting herbal remedy on hand when illness strikes, elderberry syrup is a wonderful addition to your home. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn how to make your own traditional elderberry syrup from scratch using elderberries, warming spices, and other supportive herbs. We’ll discuss the properties of each ingredient, proper preparation methods, storage, and how to incorporate elderberry syrup into your family’s wellness routine. Each participant will prepare and take home their own bottle of elderberry syrup, along with the recipe and plenty of practical knowledge so you can confidently make it again at home. Whether you’re just beginning your herbal journey or looking to deepen your skills, this workshop offers a welcoming space to learn, ask questions, and reconnect with the tradition of making herbal medicine by hand.

As the seasons begin to change, it’s the perfect time to prepare your home herbal medicine cabinet.

Join us for a fun, hands-on Fire Cider Workshop where you’ll create your own personalized jar of this traditional herbal tonic using a variety of fresh roots, herbs, fruits, and spices infused in apple cider vinegar. Fire cider has been cherished for generations as a seasonal remedy and is traditionally used to support immune health, healthy digestion, circulation, and overall wellness throughout the colder months.

We’ll explore the benefits of each ingredient, discuss how different herbs can be combined to suit your individual needs and flavor preferences, and guide you through creating a fire cider that is uniquely your own. Whether you like it bold and spicy or a little milder, you’ll leave with a custom-made jar to begin infusing at home, along with the confidence to make it again for years to come.

There is something special about gathering in community to prepare seasonal herbal remedies together. I hope you’ll join us as we welcome autumn, learn a traditional herbal preparation, and create a nourishing remedy to support you and your family through the colder months.
