Bitters Tincture Making with Amber Merkens In-Person
Bitters are back and our bodies are better for it!
Once a daily part of life, bitter herbs have supported digestion, metabolism, and overall vitality for generations- but modern living has nearly pushed this powerful flavor aside.
This hands-on class is your chance to rediscover the magic of bitter plants and why herbalists love them, while making your very own bitters tincture blend to take home. You’ll also discover how bitters add depth and complexity to cocktails and mocktails, making them as enjoyable as they are supportive.
