Today we gathered around the hearth and created our simmer pot blends with citrus, spices, herbs, and intention. Our altar held the warmth of the season with oranges, cinnamon, cloves, star anise, cranberries, and rosemary. Each ingredient carried its own spirit of cleansing, comfort, and home blessing. Together they created a fragrance that felt like winter sunlight softening the whole room.
This workshop marked the final gathering of our Kitchen Herbal Series for the year. Over the past months we crafted vanilla extract, fire cider, Florida Water, and now our seasonal simmer blends. Each creation became a way to connect with our lineage of kitchen magic, to honor the rhythm of the seasons, and to work with our hands as an expression of care and ritual.
Thank you to everyone who joined, created, and shared space with me throughout this series. Your presence has shaped the energy of each gathering and brought life to every recipe. I am grateful for the warmth we created together and for the way these simple botanicals carried our intentions.
More seasonal offerings will return next year. For now we celebrate this final moment of fragrance, creativity, and community.
