All The Wonder!

12 noon | Herbal Syrups
If you're tuned in to Natural Health Support, you may have heard of a little tasty remedy known as Elderberry Syrup. Now you can learn to craft your own herbal syrups for flavor and wellness with XoM3 Workshops! We may still feel the heat of summer, but sunshine or not, winter is just around the corner, which means cold and flu season is upon us. A tasty path to support and a little comfort through the season is a good herbal syrup! Be prepared and comforted when the coughs, congestion, tummy aches, pains, and usual seasonal suspects attack. Some are even yummy to keep around for natural sodas, dessert toppers or a unique spin on your favorite adult beverage!
Your ticket includes your herbal lecture, crafting instruction, your very own pack of syrups to taste and discuss, and take home kits and recipes to explore! Some featured herbs may include Elderberry, Ginger, Cinnamon, Peppermint, Cherry Bark, Osha Root and Horehound.
You'll learn :
• Best practices in herbal syrup formulation, choosing and blending herbs & spices that are right for you or your loved ones.
• Tasty uses for herbal syrups for nourishment and flavor, even when you're feeling tip top.

2:15p | Fire Cider
Learn to make your own fire cider!
A blend of vinegar, powerful herbs and spices, and a touch of honey to taste, fire cider is an herbal folk remedy traditionally used for wellness support during cold and flu season. Turns out, it's also a hit as a spicy food flavoring, condiment or as part of a refreshing beverage! Once learned, the recipe is easy to tweak to your favorite tastes, making the tonic elixir a delicious and useful ingredient for your home apothecary, your kitchen or even in your bar! Join me in Buckingham, Fort Myers, FL to learn some of the history of the cider, the unique properties of the various ingredients you can choose and craft a quart of your own unique concoction to take home!
You bring:
A Mason jar, cutting board and a sharp knife.
You'll be provided with:
• A short history of fire cider
