Events › Make Herbal Syrup with Mo Katz-Christy

Learn how to make an herbal syrup as we combine the sweetness of honey with the flavorful tartness of medicinal berries. In this class, Mo Katz-Christy will discuss what herbal syrups are, what they are used for, and how to make one.

From the immune activity of elderberry syrup to the nourishment of an iron syrup, herbal syrups are certainly delicious and nutritious. Mo will teach us how to make a syrup shelf stable as well as methods of preserving or prolonging the life of perishable syrups. We will also make one ourselves! We will mix medicinal berries and honey to make a delicious immune and heart support syrup. We will learn about the importance of honey and these plants and how they contribute to the medicine of the syrup.

Each participant will receive a small jar of herbal syrup to take home to share with their family and community.

Come prepared to enjoy the sticky sweetness of herbal syrups!
