Foraged Teas

CANCELED

In this class, you’ll learn about plants that might be growing in your yard right now that can be used as tea. Joey will teach you how to safely identify and responsibly remove these plants and how to turn them into comforting teas. Joey will bring many different types of loose-leaf teas from foraged plants, including mugwort, magnolia, and wineberry. Each participant will create 10 sachets of customized tea blends of their liking to take home.
