Tincture making is one of the most foundational and empowering skills in herbalism, and autumn is the perfect time to deepen your home apothecary practice. Join us at Mayernik Kitchen in Pompton Plains for a hands-on introduction to herbal tinctures and the art of extracting the beneficial properties of plants.
In this cozy, beginner-friendly workshop, you’ll learn the basics of working with medicinal herbs, what a tincture is, how it’s made, and why alcohol is such an effective extraction method. We’ll walk through the tincture-making process step by step, giving you the knowledge and confidence to continue creating your own herbal preparations at home throughout the seasons.
You’ll also have the opportunity to taste a selection of tinctures made with homegrown and locally foraged plants, giving you a deeper understanding of the flavors, aromas, and unique personalities of different herbs. As we work, we’ll enjoy a homemade herbal infusion and explore some of the herbs that make wonderful allies as we transition into the cooler months.
Whether you’re brand new to herbalism or ready to deepen your practice, this class will leave you feeling inspired and empowered to begin building your own home apothecary, one plant at a time.
