Of the Forest West Coast Bitters {alcohol free}

Of the Forest West Coast bitters are a Seasonal bitters, crafted from West Coast gathered roots & berries that come together to make a really delicious + potent Medicine. *Limited batch! In a larger 50mL bottle ✨

Bitters can often be worked with to make drinks, whether cocktails or mocktails. Added as a topper or in higher amounts to impart flavour to the drink. Of course they are also Medicine!

Bitter Plants stimulate the vagus nerve and can bring a sense of calm, or more so, a sense of a balanced nervous system. If you’ve ever tried bitters you may know this feeling of really being brought back into the body.

Bitters may also support proper digestion & gut health. Stimulating digestive juices to help our bodies digest, and receive nutrients, nourishment, from the foods we eat. Especially during Winter and into Spring as foods can be a bit richer & heavier than normal. As we enter Spring we may need some extra Liver support, the taste correlated with Spring is bitter as it helps support detoxification pathways + digestion. 

I created this blend to not only be delicious & fun to experiment with, but also to support stress levels + digestion, and detoxification pathways during a time where we may need a little extra love! Also reducing bloating and indigestion.

Made with some West Coast Plant kin Douglas fir & Coastal Mugwort. With Angelica archangelica, Orange Peel, Burdock Root, Elderberry, Juniper Berry, Allspice, Clove & Cardamom. Mmmmm. Infused in a base of organic, non-GMO glycerine and organic Apple Cider vinegar to make a non-alcoholic bitters blend for folks who are avoiding alcohol.

The taste is a delicious bitter, with Citrus & spices coming through. There is an aspect of sweet with the glycerine & sour from the Apple Cider Vinegar. I have really enjoyed it directly from the spoon (but I enjoy bitter :)), added to plain water, soda water, or made into a mocktail with ginger beer (non alcohol). You can also add it to cocktails & use it as a replacement in any recipe that calls for Bitters.

Of course, each of the Plant Medicines has so much to them! And were each chosen not only for flavour, but also to support us during this season, during the times we are in. Navigating through big transitions and supporting us in integrating, in visioning ways forward, protecting, SEEING and with clarity & discernment. Moving through life/death/birth cycles & remembering the beauty + true peace, connection, that exists here too. Supporting us as we tend to one another.

WORK WITH OF THE FOREST BITTERS: Add a few drops to top your cocktail or mocktail, wherever bitters are called for. Add to ginger beer or soda water for a delicious, medicinal non-alcohol drink, garnishing with Fir or Spruce, or an Orange zest.

May also be worked with as a daily bitter tonic to support digestion + gut health. Use 15 minutes before meals if needed to help digestion & ease bloating <3
