Herbal Tea & Honey Workshop

Local herbalist and owner of Bee’s Knees Mercantile, Kassie Roedel, has been invited to guide a Herbal Tea & Honey Workshop on Wednesday, March 27th, from 6-8pm, located at The Nook in Bigfork, Montana. The cost for our event is $44.

Herbal tea has been a common pantry item in many households,  whether hot or iced or regarded as either plant medicine or simply a delicious drink to sip on. Lesser known, herbal honey or “electuary” is composed of equal parts honey and powdered herbs, botanicals, and spices. Electuaries were traditionally used to preserve plant medicine, making a palatable cough syrup, or simply as a sweetener for tea. Both herbal tea and electuaries are antioxidant rich, which actively supports the immune system and is especially helpful for cold and flu season or to soothe sore throats.

This immersive workshop focuses on the basics of custom blended herbal tea and honey, a combination of locally grown botanicals and kitchen herbs, as well as spices. Participants will help process the ingredients and create two custom blends of loose-leaf tea (two ounces each), as well as a pint of herbal honey aka electuary.

Workshop guide, Kassie, will be offering her expertise in regards to the herbal properties, as well as provide herbal medicine books for reference. Taste testing is encouraged throughout the workshop and herbal tea will be available for participants to sip on as they build their wellness apothecary in the spirit of community.
