Made this herbal simple syrup with jamaica, nettle, oatstraw, and soursop. The herbs were allowed to steep long and slow, no rushing. After allowing it to settle ~ I poured over ice and sparkling water as a little send-off treat for retreat goers and vendors before everyone headed home.
I have always loved making herbal simple syrups (anything herbal really) and playing with different drinks from that base sparks something deep. My son and I also enjoy making various herbal syrups as our own thing. However, when I chose to share this impulsively crafted blend in retreat - I had no idea it would be such a hit. People kept coming back for more. Turns out it wasn’t just for me and my son - it was communal. Received with joy and deeply grounding and nourishing.
Want me to share the recipe?
