At our next meeting, Kathy Stevens will do a hands-on presentation on Herbs for Writers.
She will share her version of a 1700’s
recipe that was used to freshen colonial minds and help them stay focused on
paperwork. This recipe was usually stored in a decorative glass jar on
their desk. As needed, they shook the jar, removed the lid, and enjoyed
the lively scent. Peppermint, Spearmint, lavender, rosemary, and thyme
are the herbs we will be using.
She will have the herbs and some
background on them. You will do the mixing. She’ll provide some zip
lock bags for you to use. You may want to bring a 4 oz. glass jar with a
lid to store your treasure or you can wait until you get home to find
one. This recipe, which Kathy named Refresh Mint, retains its aroma
much longer if stored in a glass jar.
Saturday, August 19th, 10 a.m., the Blue Room in
the Visalia Library, Oak St.,
You don’t want to miss this one!
