Magic in the Bottle: Vinegars

Vinegar recipes are often found in old books as elixirs for long life and eternal beauty. More than that, 'sours' are found around the world as part of many magical traditions, but yet most of us know very little about them. In this workshop, Hannah Sanders teaches the lore of herbal and floral vinegars from the European folk traditions. She will demonstrate the famed Four Thieves Vinegar, a famous French prophylactic against disease, and she will also show how participants can make magical vinegars at home.

To join in: bring rosemary, meadowsweet, marjoram, cloves, juniper berries, mint, pine, lavender
