Sure, you know what tea is. But what about infusions & decoctions? How about a cold infusion? Do you know when to simmer you herbs versus when to pour hot water over them? When are tea bags sufficient versus when do you need something stronger?
“I need to let that sit overnight in cold water WHY?” (lol)
Oftentimes, but not always, you need more than a tea bag to feel better. If you’re using herbal teas for chronic health issues, you likely need far more plant material than you think, & it needs to steep much longer than a tea bag, too.
I’m going to teach you the the difference between a casual cup of tea & a therapeutic herbal preparation; the difference between pleasant flavor & actual herbal medicine.
In this class, we’ll cover the how, why, & when of different water-based herbal extractions. You’ll learn how to properly extract minerals & other medicine from your herbs, when to use hot versus cold preparation methods, & how to know which extraction techniques to use for the health goals you want to meet.
Join us for the next installment of the Home Apothecary Series: Teas, Infusions, & Decoctions .
We’ll also use this class to dive into Herbal Energetics 101- the language of traditional medicine systems all over the world. We’ll not only talk about it though- we’re going to drink herbal teas to actually FEEL what energetics feel like in the body: hot versus cold, stimulating versus calming, tense versus lax, moistening versus drying.
You’ll walk away with:
a tea blend to take home & enjoy!
a hands-on understanding of the difference between teas, infusions, & decoctions- when & which herbs to use for each
Confidence to make POTENT water-based infusions at home
& we’ll be doing a guided tea tasting to explore herbal energetics
