One of my recent Joys have been gathering with a group of “Maker” friends…this is the kind of crew that greets you at the door with a glass of multi-fractional extracted Elderberry with a touch of vodka 😁 (A special recipe by Mary Andrews, GISP).
Today’s lineup of herbs and spices tells a story of botanical history: from cinchona bark and citrus peel to juniper and cardamom.
We’re brewing up quinine-rich tonic that not only keeps the mosquitos at bay but also celebrates the beauty of botanical chemistry at work.
There’s something deeply grounding about crafting in community: sharing knowledge, experimenting with flavor, and reconnecting with the plants that shape culture and medicine alike.
Cheers to good company, good botanicals, and a well-earned tonic in hand. 🌿
Quinine, Elderberry & Good Company 🫐 🌿 🍷
