October 6 Elderberry Syrup Workshop

🍇🌿 BUILD-YOUR-OWN ELDERBERRY SYRUP WORKSHOP 🌿🍇

You’ve probably seen elderberry syrup everywhere once cold & flu season rolls around, but have you ever learned how to actually build your own?

Join us at The Good Village Co. for a hands-on herbal workshop where we’ll dig into the basics of making elderberry syrup at home, and more importantly, how to build a formula that makes sense for YOUR LIFE.

We’ll start with elderberry as our foundation and talk through our own tried-and-true base blend of elderberry, cinnamon, ginger, clove and lemon peel. Then we’re opening up the apothecary. 🌿
You’ll have 20 different herbs, berries, roots and spices to choose from to customize your own blend, including things like rose hips, echinacea, mullein, marshmallow root, elderflower, astragalus, hibiscus, schisandra, tulsi, rosemary, chamomile and more.

Want something warming and spicy? 🍂
Something tart and fruity? 🍒
Want to lean into traditional respiratory herbs? 🌱
Build a cozy, calming blend? 🌼
Or maybe create an adaptogenic or traditional immune-support focused formula?

Lauren will walk you through each herb, what it has traditionally been used for, how it works within a formula, flavor considerations, suggested amounts and which herbs make sense together. We’ll also talk about one of the biggest formulation lessons: more herbs doesn’t necessarily mean a better formula. You’ll learn how to “choose a lane” and build something intentional instead of throwing the entire kitchen sink into your syrup.

Then you’ll head to our herbal buffet and build your own custom elderberry syrup blend to take home and prepare. 🌿✨

Your $50 ticket includes:
🍇 Your custom elderberry syrup herb blend
🌿 Your choice of herbs from our 20-herb apothecary bar
📖 A laminated take-home elderberry booklet with step-by-step instructions, formulation tips, our base recipe, herb information, troubleshooting and more

Want to experiment with another formula? Additional take-home herb bags will be available for $15 each during the workshop.
