We teach you easy ways to change your mindset about the act of prepping, cooking, and even cleaning your kitchen. Join us as we share how we infuse our lives with more meaning and purpose by bringing more intention into the kitchen. October 2021 || In episode 1 we are focusing on the theme of intention! What is it? How do we bring more of it into the kitchen? Why have we lumped cooking, such a vital task of our existence into part of a mundane chore list like doing the laundry? In this month's episode we shared these recipes. The intention behind them, and showed how you can create them at home: Home Protection Simmer Pot recipe Enjoy the fragrance of this simmering potpourri and rest easy knowing that the ingredients are carefully selected with intention. Peel from 1 orange (for happiness & family) 2 or 3 fresh or dried bay leaves: (for protection) 2 whole cinnamon sticks or 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for protection) 1 tablespoon whole cloves (to repel the evil eye) water to cover In a sauce pan or a small crock pot combine all of the ingredients and cover with at least 2 inches of water. Place over low heat and allow to simmer gently. The steam will carry the protective properties of the ingredients through air with their fragrance. Much like smudging with smoke this simmer pot can protect your space and those that enjoy its aroma. As the simmer pot begins to run low on water you can replenish the water to simmer again and again. NEVER leave a simmer pot unattended and NEVER let a simmer pot run out of water. This could ruin your pot, start a fire and potentially be very dangerous! When a simmer pot's work is done don't just throw it out in the trash! Think about all of the love and energy you infused into it - that's not garbage, so don't treat it as such. You can dispose of your simmer pot ingredients by either pouring the contents back into the earth. Under a tree or even in a garden works great. Or you can use the liquid as a home protection spray! Simply strain out the solid ingredients and funnel the remaining liquid into a spray bottle. Spray around doors and windows as an energetic home protection spray. Homemade Sleepy Time Tea recipe: Start small with the quantity of dried flowers and work up to the larger measure. Dried lavender is very potent and has a strong flavor which can be overwhelming. 1/2 teaspoon - 1 tablespoon dried lavender flowers 1 cup boiling water honey, to taste lemon, to taste Place the lavender in a heat resistant glass and pour boiling water over the top. Allow to steep for 2-4 minutes depending on the strength that is desired. Strain into a serving glass or mug and flavor with honey and lemon to taste. Sip slowly at the end of the evening right before bed to induce a sense of calm and restfulness before sleep. Lavender has cleansing properties and is associated with purification, dreams, relaxation, and love. If suffering from a cold or bronchitis this tea can be used externally also as a wash over the chest to help ease the symptoms and bring rest. WANT TO BRING EVEN MORE INTENTION INTO YOUR DAILY LIFE?
