It’s ‘that time of year’ again — Cold & Flu season. Delicious & powerful, elderberry syrup is wonderful to have on hand to treat colds & flu, & also for use as a preventative. Don’t worry– You didn’t miss your chance to make some when they were in season last Fall; we can absolutely make effective, delicious syrup with dried berries!

Let’s make some homemade syrup. This Class will be held Saturday, Feb. 21th, at 2:00pm at the Local Batch Kitchen. [right below our store!] ** snow date Feb. 28th.

Making the tasty & beneficial syrup is quite easy, & there are many recipes for it floating around the internet. In this class, I’ll share my favorite recipe for super-strength Ultimate Elderberry Syrup & explain why I add what I add, as well as best use practices. We then will craft a batch together. Each attendee will leave with a 2 oz bottle of syrup, a copy of the recipe, an elder monograph, & the know-how. This will be a small group class & very hands on. We are expecting it to run about 1.5 hours long. CLASS SPACE IS LIMITED. This is a PRIVATE EVENT; advance ticket/s must be purchased
