Learn how to make your own delicious and medicinal cordials, also known as elixirs. These concoctions are a combination of liquor of choice, plus honey, infused with aromatic and bitters herbs and fruits, and in class we'll be focusing on the the bounty of bioregionally abundant late summer and fall fruits, roots, and herbs widely available in our area. These are best enjoyed in fancy cordial glasses on cold fall and winter nights or throw into wine with herbs for a mulled wine beyond compare. And they can be taken medicinally too! We’ll cover formulation, dosage, and crafting your own cordials, with a focus on creativity and a folk medicine-making approach. Recipes will be provided and participants will leave with their own homemade cordial we make together in class.

Please bring your own pint size jar (approximate size), cutting board and knife. 

Jade Alicandro is a bioregional herbalist and wild foods aficionado living in the rolling hills of western Massachusetts, where she runs a small herb school and hosts in-person and online classes. She’s been studying herbalism formally since 2006 and has been in clinical practice since 2012. Learn more about her work at www.milkandhoneyherbs.com or @milkandhoneyherbs
