Magickal Herb-Infused Simple Syrup Recipe
Plants are full of magick. Witches and healers are often drawn towards the energies of plants and herbs to discover the medicinal qualities they hold. This plant-powered potion harnesses their power through kitchen witchcraft, and the simple syrup recipe is super easy to make!
Kitchen Witchcraft applies your energy and intention in household tools or common ingredients. Kitchen witches often love to cook or bake, and sprinkle their magick into everything they do around the home!
Herb Choices
The magickal properties of your herb should inspire how you intend on using it. In the video I make an anti-anxiety syrup, harnessing Lavender's peaceful energy, but it could also be a meditation syrup or a dream syrup to have before bed!
Some herbs are stronger than others! You may want to add more or less, based on your choice. Lavender can go from subtly floral to "tastes like soap" pretty quickly. 1 teaspoon of it could keep it from being an overwhelming taste, depending on how you want to use it!
And please make sure your plant of choice is safe to eat.
Here are just a few ideas that could be powerful (and super tasty) simple syrups:
Lavender: Peace, joy, dreams, clear-thinking, psychic ability
Rosemary: Protection, memory, wisdom, health
Hibiscus: Love, lust, dreams
Rose: Love, happiness, protection, luck
Basil: Balance, cleansing
Mint: Money, success, healing, communication
Stirring Up Your Potion
One of the keys to this recipe is intentional stirring. Yes, you read that right! Stirring your syrup in widdershins like I did (anti-clockwise/counterclockwise) will send things away. I stirred in widdershins and focused on being anxiety-free! To bring things to you, like prosperity or love, you would stir deosil (clockwise) and focus on you having what you desire!
What do I put this in?
Simple syrup is basically liquid sugar. You can use it where you would any sweetener! It could be used to sweeten drinks, like tea, coffee, lemonade or cocktails. Use it to make desserts, drizzle a little over ice cream, add it to a smoothie... Whatever you want!
