The Bountiful Bonanza of Bitters
Virtual Class
RECORDED VIRTUAL CLASS
The Bountiful Bonanza of Bitters:
Making herbal formulas to support your digestion and spice up your cocktails, mocktails, and sodas.
Though bitters are trending, they are concoctions that go way back! Back in the day, folks would eat wild, bitter greens because they were the first fresh food to pop up in the spring. Coincidentally, they’d tonify the body and kickstart the liver after a winter of eating preserved foods.
Today we have so many more choices for supporting our livers and protecting us from invaders like environmental toxins and hard-to-digest fatty foods and alcohol. Once you get used to the taste, you’ll actually start to crave it!
Did you know that citrus peels, coffee, chocolate, vanilla, and reishi are actually bitters? Just think of all the tasty and tonifying combinations you can come up with!
In this class, you'll learn more about what bitters are, their history, and how they function. Plus, the best part: get a handout with recipes you can make at home for liver and digestive love just in time for the holidays, fancy drinks for entertaining, and they make tantalizing gifts!

Explore the Appalachians from your couch, and learn how to empower yourself with your own free and vital wild food and medicine!

Abby believes nature education is so important, especially information on wild edible and medicinal plants, to help us survive in these tough times.
