  The Kitchen Apothecary

 

Learn the "how-to" make herbal preparations for health and beauty.  Each class will be hands-on and students will leave with hand outs and samples.  Please be sure to sign-up in advance. 

February:  Syrups, Saturday February 13 from 10-11 am, registration: $15 includes all materials, handouts, and samples ($12 for Earthwise Ways members).

March:  Bringing the Pharmacy into Your Kitchen: Eclectic Herbal Remedy Techniques with Marie Noel Groves, Sunday March 14 from 4-7 pm, registration: $85 includes all materials, handouts, and samples.

In this class, Marie will demonstrate some less common yet simple techniques that bring an air of old pharmacy to your kitchen apothecary. An extra advantage: You can go from start to finish in a fraction of the time of simpler techniques. We'll make a percolation tincture, an alcohol-intermediate herbal oil (and salve), and an herbal honey. You'll bring home detailed handouts, worksheets, remedies, and a solid understanding of how to do them on your own.
