Another first!! 🫙

This month has been full of firsts for me and it’s been so exciting & fun! I took a canning class yesterday and it was just what I love to do. Learn new things, have a hands on experience & share it with you all 💛✨

I have never canned before. Much like making sourdough, it has always seemed intimidating. But, yesterday, I realized just how approachable canning really is! 🙌🏼

I detailed my experience & the tips I’ve learned on my blog. Take a look at my stories for the link or check the link in my bio to read all about it.

I just had to share, because I know this group appreciates learning a new skill!

Make your own lavender simple syrup

The other day I had a rare mom moment, I got some alone time!! 🤗 I went to a coffee shop & ordered the most delicious lavender latte I’ve ever had! Each sip was sweet and unique & I couldn’t get it out of my head.

I decided to make my own at home & let me tell you, you need to try this! ☕️ It’s easy, hence “simple syrup” & once you make a batch, you’ll have it on hand for other delicious additions as well.

Lavender simple syrup:
✨ in a pot bring 1 cup of sugar, 1 cup of water & 2 tablespoons of lavender flowers to a boil.
✨ Let simmer to allow the sugar to melt. Stir and heat for about 10 minutes.
✨ strain out the lavender flowers with a cheesecloth to catch the small particles & bottle up your syrup, that’s it!!

It’s sweet, delicious, has a hint of lavender taste & perfect for - coffee ☕️ , tea 🫖 , pancakes 🥞 & other baked goods!

Lavender latte:
✨ Start by making your coffee, I recently turned to @kion bc they test for mold & have high quality beans, let me say they are DELICIOUS!
✨ Make your latte hot or cold, this spring weather has me reaching for different options each day 🙃
✨ for the best balance, I found that about 1 tablespoon of lavender simple syrup was perfect!
✨ next, top it off with delicious milk, my favorite is @raw_farm_by_op
✨ stir & enjoy!

This is such a special treat. It taste like a gourmet coffee house latte and a perfect weekend recipe to try ☕️✨💜

Acid + honey + nutrients

Oxymels are one of my favorite ways to create an herbal remedy! Combining these powerful bases, that come with their own long list of benefits, with an herb like nettle, makes for a recipe you all have to try! 🌿

Click the link in my bio, I wrote up a blog post on this. Detailing the benefits, uses & shelf life. But I also wanted to briefly summarize some of the benefits here:

🌿 Nettle: high antioxidants content, helps with inflammation and histamine response. Also super nutrient rich.
🌿 Apple cider vinegar: acid pulls out herb’s beneficial properties, ACV is full of good bacteria, perfect for gut health.
🌿 Raw honey: soothes a dry throat, full of nutrients & high sugar content helps the shelf life of your herbal creation.

The folk methods of herbalism is so forgiving. You can alter this recipe to your own preference and still yield the same benefits! I like to do a 1:1 ratio of vinegar to honey. Some add more honey vs vinegar, or vice versa.

Follow along for more Nettle wonder throughout the day and join us this month through our hashtags and at @plantwondercollective
