Making medicinal foods & drinks and enjoying the fruits of our labor …
Tasty Treats & Libations
We enjoy tasting herbs and medicinal foods in the classroom to get a hands-on experience of their healing value.
Various Types of Tea
We like to try new teas and drink them together as we learn about the herbs.
Thai Soup with Galanga
Galanga is a wonderful medicinal agent used to warm the belly and aid digestion.
Hawthorne & Walnut Dessert
Walnuts (Hu Tao Ren) are soaked and cooked with a decoction of Hawthorne Berries (Shan Zha). Add a little sugar, top with fresh mint and dried mulberries. You have a delicious, healthy dessert that reduces cholesterol and stimulates the brain!
