About this Event
Join us for a whimsical little tea party where we’ll create a delicious herbal syrup, whisk up some matcha, add your milk of choice, and enjoy a hand-crafted latte together! (We will also have lemonade to make a delicious mocktail if you prefer). In this class, we’ll walk through the simple steps of making an herbal syrup and explore the fun and creative possibilities of combining herbs, fruits, and more! We will also touch on the benefits of including herbs in a syrup. Everyone will take home a small jar of the syrup we create together and we hope that participants will leave feeling inspired to experiment at home and create their own delicious syrups for lattes, sparkling water, cocktails, mocktails, ice cream, and anything else you can dream up! We’ll share a few of our favorite recipes to get you started. Come sip, create, and play with flavor!
