Holiday Herbal Treats Recipe Roundup

I saw a great question in a Facebook group looking for holiday herbal treats recommendations and realized it would be perfect for a recipe roundup! Many holiday recipes are already festively herbal thanks to warming culinary herbs like cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and clove. Rosemary, mint, juniper berries, and conifers are also a great options for adding herbal benefits to your festivities. If you have favourite recipes, you can try experimenting with the flavouring by swapping in more classically holiday friendly herbs instead. I’ve included a mix of simple and advanced so there’s lots of ideas to choose from! For even more, be sure to check out our pinterest board here.

Be sure to leave your favourite ideas and recipes in the comments! Happy Holidays
