heart warming autumn digestive liqueur

One of the delights of herbal medicine is bottling up seasonal tastes. These potions are oﬅen ephem- eral in nature. Sure, you can follow the same recipe again, but each season and year brings diﬀerent flavors and memories. This spicy liqueur gathers some of my favorite autumn flavors like dandelion root, hawthorn, and rose hips and combines them with the spicy aromatics of ginger, all spice, cloves, and cinnamon. The result is a blend that supports your heart and digestion. This recipe is very amenable to substitutions. Play with the ingredients to find what suits you best! If you don’t have Honey Shine spirits you can use another or other 190 proof, ethically sourced spirit (or a lower proof and omit the water).

One of the delights of herbal medicine is bottling up seasonal tastes. These potions are often ephem-eral in nature. Sure, you can follow the same recipe again, but each season and year brings different flavors and memories.

This spicy liqueur gathers some of my favorite autumn flavors like dandelion root, hawthorn, and rose hips and combines them with the spicy aromatics of ginger, all spice, cloves, and cinnamon. The result is a blend that supports your heart and digestion.

This recipe is very amenable to substitutions. Play with the ingredients to find what suits you best! If you don’t have Honey Shine spirits you can use another or other 190 proof, ethically sourced spirit (or a lower proof and omit the water).
