[VIRTUAL] Farmers' Gatorade: Herbal Hydration
From publicly posted calendar Checked yesterday
About this event
One of 3 upcoming events at Rock Steady Farm, and 2,810 across the Hudson Valley.
Quench your thirst in this hands-on workshop all about making your own herbal “gatorade.” We’ll explore three time-tested techniques that balance tangy vinegar with natural sweetness to create refreshing, mineral-rich drinks that can satisfy any farmer’s quench. We’ll learn the history and craft behind traditional drinks like switchel, sekahnjebin, and oxymel, and break down their medicinal qualities—how they work and why they’re so effective for hydration. Participants will taste freshly made switchel and leave with their own handcrafted herbal oxymel and sekahnjebin syrup to take home. Come sip, make, and learn a few new ways to stay hydrated! Spaces are limited. Register early!
