Nourished Kitchen Workshops

The Workshop

When the days are long and the heat feels relentless, there's something deeply satisfying about a cold drink made with real fruit, fresh herbs, and a little intention. In this workshop, we'll make refreshing summer beverages that go far beyond plain iced tea. Together, we'll explore colorful fruit kvass, cooling herbal iced teas, traditional oxymels, and vibrant shrubs made with fruit, herbs, vinegar, honey, and time-honored techniques.

Along the way, we'll get to know the herbs behind the recipes: how they taste, how they've been used traditionally, and why so many women turn to them during the warmer months. We'll work with cooling mint and lemon balm, mineral-rich nettles, fragrant rose, tart hibiscus, soothing chamomile, and other seasonal botanicals that may support hydration, digestion, immune health, and overall well-being.

You'll leave with easy, adaptable recipes you can make all summer long, whether you're looking for something lightly fermented, naturally refreshing, or special enough to share with friends on the patio. These are drinks for garden evenings, farmers market finds, quiet moments on the porch, and gathering around the table with people you love. Simple to make, beautiful to serve, and deeply satisfying, they offer a delicious way to stay refreshed and nourished through the season.
