Kitchen Witchery: Herbal Elixirs for Cold and Flu Season

Long before the pharmacy aisle, there was the kitchen.

Every family had someone who knew what to steep when a cough settled in, what to rub on a scrape, what to keep in the back of the cupboard for the long stretch of winter when everybody in the house got sick at once. That knowledge was ordinary. It was passed hand to hand, mother to daughter, neighbor to neighbor, and most of it never got written down.

Kitchen Witchery is a hands-on return to that cabinet. We will blend herbal elixirs together, talk about the plants and why our great-grandmothers reached for them, and send you home with preparations to keep on your own shelf through the colder months ahead.

During our time together you will explore:

🌿 The history of kitchen medicine and the women who carried it

🌿 Sage cough syrup, and the folk tradition behind it

🌿 Comfrey salve, and how to handle it safely

🌿 Infusing, straining, and storing your preparations so they keep

🌿 How to stock a winter cabinet from what is already in your spice drawer

You will blend as we go, and you will leave with jars of your own.

These are folk preparations in the old tradition. They are a complement to care from your doctor, never a replacement for it.

No experience necessary. All materials provided.
