Filling Our Vessels
Engage your mind, body, and spirit to create healing drinks.
Comfort Botanical Tea Blend
This herbal blend is great for fall and winter, or whenever you need to be comforted. The combination of ingredients reminds me of people who have comforted me, like my grandmother. Even though she’s no longer earthside, drinking this tea feels like my grandmama’s hug in a cup.
Hibiscus Switchel
A traditional switchel recipe of apple cider vinegar and molasses but with additional ingredients such as clove, cinnamon, hibiscus, lemongrass, and ginger.
Potlikker Fire Cider
Fire cider is often called “the people’s medicine” and for good reason! It’s a spicy vinegar made with ingredients you can find in your garden and kitchen. (Potlikker is the liquid that develops after cooking down a pot of greens. It’s full of flavor and nutrients.)
Sweet Potato Shrub & Toddy
A shrub is traditionally a drinking vinegar infused with fruit and herbs. But shrubs don’t have to be just berries and vinegar. You can use a combination of so many savory or sweet ingredients. Even the natural sweetness and earthiness of sweet potatoes.
Candy Cap Chai Syrup
Take the earthy sweetness of candy cap mushrooms and combine them with the spices and aromatics of chai.
