Potion Crafting | The Art of Making Herbal Syrups | A Simple Way to Add Witchcraft to Your Everyday

I am always in search of simple ways to infuse witchcraft into my daily - easy acts that help me to live a magickal life! Practices like these are what make up much of my content here on youtube and today I thought I'd share another with you!
This was a bit of an experiment for myself and I'm very glad to say that it turned out wonderfully!
I hope you enjoy and let me know how it goes for you!
For my creation I used chamomile, lavender, and rose. The chamomile was used to bring peace, rose or love, and lavender for sleep - though feel free to use any kind of herb that is safe to consume and calls to you.
Be careful if you wish to forage, stay away from pollutants and pesticides and be 100% sure of your identification.

About the expiration date: if you sterilized the glasses you can keep them unopened for 2 years and they continue good. When you open them you have to hurry way more so maybe make many little ones. That's what my grandma does at least. Hope it helps ❤️

[@chloej1611]

Good to know! What if they're not sterilized or you need to open them? Do you have an estimate for how long they would last then?

[@baneebyclovers]

@@chloej1611 we don’t know 🥰

[@callievick9700]

I feel like every time I watch your newer videos (both channels) you become a little more like your authentic self. I mean that from a place of empathy and love, it's just so beautiful to see you growing 🧡

[@sxndawn]

can you drop the other channel's name ?

[@callievick9700]

Annabel Margret is her other channel

[@MysticHeather]

Interesting as I was just thinking the opposite. Not from a place of criticism at all but from a place of love as well… I was thinking it *feels* like she’s *trying* to be something she thinks she’s supposed to be and feels less authentic than she used to… even the sound of her voice feels kind of like she’s *trying* to sound a certain way. But that’s just the vibe I’m catching/perceiving and means absolutely nothing in the scheme of things. Either way I hope the best for her

[@logananderson929]

There's a place near me that does floral Moscow mules. They have an orange blossom one that is fantastic, so I definitely want to make a syrup out of orange blossoms

[@lokiscoffeerose663]

Just bought a hyssop plant and as soon as it finishes blooming, I'll make the blossoms into a syrup

[@shadowmoon8965]

I’m so excited to try a chamomile old fashioned! Sounds like the perfect nightcap. Thanks 🙂

[@alexandriabrown4117]

I enjoyed watching this video! I have a tip for you though Green Witch. When you had first added your flowers to your bowl and then you added your boiling water I noticed that you covered it with a towel. Try adding a cup saucer over your bowl instead. A lot of the essential oils from the flower or herbs go up and out through the steam so I cover any boiled herbs that needs to set for a little bit with the cup saucer. And then, if it's a cup of tea, I know this is going to sound stupid but I lick the bottom of the saucer. lol.

[@wolvenwitch6131]

I made one with rose hips, seabucktorn and thyme or sage to help me with my allergies. It helps to flush out the hystamines and soothe my throat. I love how nature could help me to cope with my hay fever.

[@Cailyn_Amanda]

Ooooh I LOVE the new art on your arms! Would you ever be interested in doing a tattoo tour? Maybe for patreon? I'm always curious about how people choose to decorate themselves. I've currently got 4 birds on one shoulder, and some Bill & Ted/ Doctor Who crossover action on the other. I'm going to be making rhubarb sauce today. I wonder if I could make a floral syrup that would also taste good with it as a topping over ice cream. I'll let you know!

[@1412mariLU]

Annie, would you mind telling us about your tattoos? Of course you don't have to if it's too personal, but I'd love to hear how you pick out a design and decide about the placement. Btw: I love making lemon balm syrup from the bush in my garden. 😊

[@localvoidlander8093]

I am someone who does not believe in anything, but I have been wanting to learn more about witchcraft and Wicca and other spiritual things due to my partner following Wicca ideas, and I really am finding I like the atmosphere of a lot of the potion crafting and cooking with the lens of witchcraft. Your kitchen and backdrop are both really beautiful, the whole music and everything as well.

[@sxndawn]

I can't wait to move in by myself and really embrace my beliefs

[@lilurri]

Okay, in having to watch this again for the recipe. The online search I did for something similar said I could use honey instead of sugar, and it's totally overpowering the lilac flavor in my lilac syrup.

[@Megan.eco-Instinct]

If you haven't tried coconut sugar yet, I *very highly* recommend it. I am stunned at what a fabulous sugar substitute it is. When you look at it you think _hmmm, yeah... I don't think so_ (not that it looks gross or anything :) it just looks like ground coconut husk) but don't let that keep you from trying it. It's wonderful

[@lovelightshining4444]

Absolutely 💯% gorgeous "New Art Work!" You add magic to our world Dear One 🙏😔 Blessed Be 🌛⭐🌜🔥🌊🌎🌬️🙏

[@TJ_in_GA]

I want that copper kettle!

[@da2357]

I’m looking forward to trying a Chamomile Syrup Old Fashioned, sounds yummy! Congrats on the new ink, looks really nice! Thanks for the video, Annie, your videos are always the best part of my day, they’re so beautiful and awesome!

[@KerriGilpin]

Wow, your fresh ink is gorgeous! You film such beautiful B-roll!

[@KerriGilpin]

Also your music selection reminds me of Agnes Obel

[@brianas444]

I’m gonna try this. I made ginger candies because of you and people at my husbands job love them. And I love you ❤️

[@askanthonyy]

Just finding your channel and I’m kind of obsessed. Your soft voice and demeanour is so calming and it’s been soothing my anxiety. Gonna need the recipe for that chamomile old fashioned asap tho 😂

[@iamnotfitforadventure8108]

I love your videos, whenever I’m hesitant about being in the kitchen to experiment, seeing you helps tremendously and it becomes lesser of a daunting task. Thank you Annabel 💚

[@RIXRADvidz]

Summer is always a time for refreshment. Previously I was all about the fruit juices, flavours and combining nutrients, with some phantastique results. This year I was drawn to floral teas, I collected a few things from local herbalists and have been enjoying bright lively teas that bring in the Happy to the Day. dried Goji berries and violet flowers, Bright Pink Lively Happy Refreshment, hot or cold. Thanks for Being a Blessing !!

[@galelascala105]

I love making botanical cocktails!

[@Itssuetoyou]

[@titaemira]

[@annru991]

Thank you for all those great videos, I enjoy them so much and I feel like I've learnt so much from you! I always like to try your recipes and I am definitely going to try this one as well, maybe with hibiscus and lavender :)

[@fortune_roses]

Ooh nice way to add herbal essence to teas and cocktails ♡

[@tammiebarnes7787]

I joined your Paetron a while ago and i love it! I definitely recommend it to fellow green witches!❤️❤️

[@Eccentricjewelry]

Definitely will try this thank you love your channel !

[@IndifferentIgnorance]

In one of your last videos I thought 'is that a new tattoo or just a piece of clothing/my eyes playing tricks?' Quite relieved it wasn't my eye haha. They look great!

[@zacharyryan484]

Your camera skills are absolutely inspirational. As an aspiring film creator I feel I can learn so much from you! If you ever offer any formal classes for editing and film making I'd totally be interested.

[@PHILIPPEEve]

Lovely The Cups Of Tea 😍 !

[@angelagentry562]

I did enjoy this video very much. I hope you make more like these as well as discussing more about how you choose an area of focus when just beginning this beautiful craft or art. I love the syrups, as well as the one you did about negative potions to wear. ♥️✨♥️✨♥️

[@gabym5063]

OMG I WAITED SO LONG FOR A VIDEO LIKE THIS

[@rebeccarippon7830]

So nice! Looking forward to making some.

[@AliceTheChaosWitch]

Your B roll is.. *chefs kiss

[@kathrynl2009]

Wow... love this! I agree with Coly... 2 years with sterilized glass... sounds about right... but that would also include only using sterilized hands and tools when using the formula. It would also help if you put them into smaller jars, so that you could only open a bit of it at a time. Keeping them in the dark will help too.. though they are so pretty that it might be a crime to not display them! As far as preservation.... I do like to use oregano or rosemary essential oil... a few drops per cup of material.. into my homemade beauty items. Grapefruit seed extract is another option. Also refrigeration can help depending upon the item. Overall though, sugar / honey are natural preservatives too! Thank you so much for your work...

[@mariahhughes5743]

Ultimate therapy right here people haha she is awesome

[@lisaschropfer8866]

I haven’t watched your videos in sooo long. The last time was when you still had long hair and no tats. And I am so exited to see how you are still this inspiring and calming person with g rest recipes and cinematography while noticeable growing as person yourself. Thank you for sharing. Lots of love and good energy

[@keltait]

aww yay! i cant wait to see you and finish them in a couple weeks! Its pretty cool to see because usually once im done and the client leaves i never get to see things again!

[@TheGreenWitch]

Oh that's right! I'm so glad that they get to be shared! I am very very excited to get them finished but even now they are remarkable!

[@ShylieKay]

Hey Annie ❤ Look great, love the art! Suits you! I tend towards natural ink, have grasses and a dandelion on one wrist, need more wildflowers sometime. Great video I'm excited to try these! I'm trying to decide what I would use syrups and vinegars for in cooking and whatnot. I need to drink less coffee than tea than I have been.

[@mamiles]

I can’t wait to try this with marigolds!

[@Clairevoyante]

Syrups are so much fun to make. They're a really great thing to do to try new flavors and explore plants' benefits!

[@thecoralex]

Ah new recipe! Thank you! :D

[@juliereminiec4937]

Love your tats ,Annie

[@_LaisAraujo]

[@plantsbatsandcats]

Honestly just a relaxing video of you making stuff without talking would be so nice. Just like an ambient type video of making stuff.

[@celinialambert7166]

Loven this

[@caylathecreatrix1645]

I have a friend coming over today and we’re going to try this recipe out, we’re so excited! We’re going to do hibiscus and some lavender :)

[@vero1697]

i’ve had some awful flare ups of chronic pain today after spending an hour standing up in the kitchen, so i had to press pause on the recipe i was making. i’ve been having a somewhat gloomy day since i’m stuck in bed for a bit, so i’m so happy to see this video from you! it almost feels like i’m getting to finish what i was crafting without having to put my body through more stress! so thank you so much annie! 💕

[@foutleslie919]

I wish I could speak like she you. So calm, eloquent, have you always spoken this way or did you have to work towards it? I wish I could slow down my brain & lower my tone (voice) to do it like you do. not loud, chaotic, all over the place like I do.

[@taraodunsi7615]

when i saw the word "potion" i clicked faster than *lightning* xD

[@karachiking7356]

Very nice 👍👍

[@anne.maxime]

[@cheryl-lylbaldr4560]

Thank you for sharing I would love to add these to my practice if its alright with you Namaste

[@carolynramos7180]

[@moonstarstories1298]

Here before an hour of this video's posting!

[@notafangirl]

Do you have a post somewhere with the recipe for your Chamomile Old Fashioned? I'd love to try that after making this syrup💗

[@philipozminkowski8200]

Awesome. You make any alcohol extracts? I make lavender and mint myself. 💜 I can't stop myself from turning most of my mint into tea though it's just too good.

[@gegetsikgulatyan1206]

I feelung realax when you talking you very pasytyv weechs❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@kristineforster6091]

Hi Annie Hope this finds you well🥰🥰🥰💚💚 You’re awesome, thank you for sharing your recipes, I made your anxiety salve (my first one ever) it was a bit on the runny side (not enough beeswax but my two friends (testers) are thrilled with it, I did add lavender essential oil as a think I added a wee bit too much chamomile, anyway I had a mozzie bite I put on within a couple of mins stopped itching, put this on also before working in the garden no more bites (added bonus) 👏👏👏🥰🥰🥰💚💚 I was wondering the sugar you use is this normal white processed sugar as it’s not good for you at all!, was wondering if you have tried any other sugar like coconut? I’ll be trying in a couple of days, will let you know how I go! Blessings 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🥰🥰🥰💚💚

[@serenagoodsell7842]

[@lilbabygaming3405]

If you like to read you should do an asmr video of you reading a witchcraft book so I can fall asleep to your voice. Lol I'm sorry if that's a little weird.

[@blackmonday738]

I really love this never tried, but I will for tea. I wanna do this but I don't care for tons of sugar, wanted to ask what's the difference using those bar towels verses cheese cloth? Does tiny fabric or lint get in There? Thank u .
