A long time ago in a different life (or at least i A long time ago in a different life (or at least it feels that way) I was riding in a car at night with @whereissionnie to meet up with @ruthielindsey and @1924us for bonfires and general cabin shenanigans outside of Nashville. 

I remember the drive so well. It’s a conversation that always stuck with me. We talked about trauma and crisis. And I don’t know much, but I shared the only thing I know, a thing that has served me well through the natural undulations life is bound to bring.

And that is simply sometimes you have to cling to the mast. You aren’t doing anything but surviving but that’s the most important work of all. Because the storm WILL pass. And you‘ll be left standing.

And when it does you can mend the sails. Untangle the ropes. And get on with the business of sailing.

I’ve learned to give myself permission to do nothing but make it through. To sleep a little too late. To dance in front of the mirror and feel myself even when I look ridiculous. To load and unload the dishwasher and allow that to be a great victory. To dress like a cartoon character in nothing but white t-shirts and denim shorts.  To eat mac & cheese from a box and frozen chicken nuggets sometimes. To not respond to text messages. To flail and get back up over and over. To ask for help. A lot.

And also permission to feel it all. Rage. Grief. Joy. Hope and hopelessness. And sometimes all within the span of a few minutes. 

And most of all, whether navigating calm waters or stormy ones, what matters more than anything is the crew you’re doing it with. Surround yourself with solid people.

People that challenge you with compassion. And humor. People whose strengths buttress your weakness. People that don’t judge you. That believe in you even when you think they’re maniacs for doing so.

I know a disproportionate amount of us have had rough seas this year. Cling to the mast in the storm. Choose your crew wisely. No storm ever lasted forever. But there never was a last storm in the world. Accept that they will come and be prepared.

Rosemary & Strawberry Buttermilk Muffins

I’m an herb collector. My pantry shelves are lined with jars of everything from butcher’s broom and witch hazel to marshmallow root and violet leaf. I buy them in bulk, arguably compulsively. I burn them, drink them, cook with them, bathe in them. I write quick poems & prayers with them. I give them as gifts—as teas, salts, and infusions—packed in amber bottles, weck jars, and muslin bags. And I’ve teamed up with Makr, a new design app for the iPad, to create beautiful labels for my herbal creations! I’m a woman obsessed. When I downloaded the app I spent the whole day designing labels for everything (caramel, pesto, jam, pickles…), menus, place cards, recipes cards, and gift cards & tags. You can even import your own photographs, drawings, and logos. And then they’ll professionally print them for you & send them in the post. Or you can print them at home. It’s basically the best thing ever for creatives that don’t happen to be graphic designers. If it’s a printed thing, you can make it. On Makr. Hence the name. Makr is generously offering a special for Local Milk readers—you can enjoy a free Makr credit and 20% off a print order! Just register with the code LOCMILKFAN and enter the same code at checkout. You can download the Makr app here—and you can check out my project that you see here and customize it to make it your own! So get thee to tea blending & designing! In celebration of making and friends far & near, I’ve created a little virtual tea party here. The recipe for the seer’s tea blend & muffins can both be found after the jump!

I designed this label for a potent herbal blend intended to relax & open the mind. I crafted it to send to some long distance friends. The internet is like that—you find yourself dear friends with people you’ve never seen in the flesh. So what is there to do but mail a package, a small physical interaction in this digital world? If everyone lived near by, I’d have a proper tea party. Well, proper my way. Which is largely improper. Sage would burn, the kettle clarion would sound, and homemade blends would steep in vessels of ceramic and glass while humble muffins baked in the oven. The table would be as it is—strewn with herbs, clippings of budding spring and crystals—smoky quartz and apophyllite, and no doubt my bag of runes would make their way to the table as we sipped  lightly honeyed tea out of handmade cups. The simply sacred. The muffins would be eaten decidedly hot, fresh out of the oven. My new oven. My gas oven. Yes, these little rosemary roasted strawberry & buttermilk muffins were the maiden voyage of my new range. You’d think I’d roast a pheasant or something. Nah. Muffins. Wonderfully moist muffins spiked with rosemary and tart, jammy roasted strawberries & vanilla bean to go with my flowering tea.

Strawberry & Rosemary Buttermilk Muffins + Tea Blending

I actually didn’t have a stove for almost three full months until today when it was finally up and running 100% after a few minor adjustments, and during the dark, ovenless days I took comfort in herbs and their folklore. I’d boil water in the microwave that hulked in my dining room floor and brew tea for friends when they came round or for myself when I’d meditate in front of the fire. We’d sit in the floor and drink. My life was chaos. But I had my herbs. I’m sure whenever anyone renovates anything it’s chaos. Especially when a cook renovates their kitchen. But I don’t bounce back from chaos well—it creeps into my head with strange tentacles. I get disoriented, listless. There seems to be no wall between my internal reality & external, mess in either breeds mess in the other. So, I took to mapping my friends in the stars, reading the synchronicity around me, and making tables of the properties of herbs, both mystical and medicinal. Trust me when I say the damiana & mugwort in this tea are key.

Strawberry & Rosemary Buttermilk Muffins + Tea Blending

The house fell down around my head over the past three months; the oven, my compass, was missing. No kettle for the morning, no frying egg. No late night biscuits. It was like being so far under water you don’t know which way is up and down. It may sounds like I’m being facetious; I’m not. Cooking is something that has always been a coping mechanism for me. It’s always there for me, even when nothing else is. Cooking isn’t fraught with self loathing & doubt. Cooking is safe. I’m good at it. So I like it. It’s that simple really. Without it, I’m aimless. Things just aren’t the same. I think I lived off of bananas, bread, and candy. It was ugly. But I took respite in blending. It calmed me. My “Seer’s Blend” is for relaxing, for anti-anxiety, for sleep. It’s also for opening the mind, for invoking a multi-dimensional consciousness. For tuning your third eye to the synchronicity. To help you read the poetry of events, signs, and symbols around you. If you wish. Or it can just be for sipping while relaxing with a strawberry muffin. Astral travel is optional.

seer

This is a slightly pared down version of my Seer's Tea blend (which also includes cinnamon chips, cornflowers, dandelion root, & marshmallow root, if you're interested.) It has a unique flavor, all at once earthy, floral, and slightly citrusy, and I find it's best enjoyed with a whisper of good honey. I use the phrase "seer's tea" to denote any tea geared at calming the conscious mind & awakening the intuitive sense. This is a great tea for sleep, anti-anxiety, and for scrying & divination. If you're into that.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup green rooibos
  • 1 cup hops flowers
  • 1 cup damiana
  • 1/2 cup mugwort
  • 1/2 cup chamomile
  • 1/3 cup hibiscus flowers, lightly crushed
  • 1/2 cup calendula flowers (marigold)
  • 2 tablespoons orange peel
  • 2 tablespoons lavender

Instructions

  1. All ingredients should be in their dried form. Mix in a bowl thoroughly. Package in jars or bags.
  2. To brew, pour hot water (just under a boil but not boiling), over 1 tablespoon of the blend per 8 oz cup. Steep at 5 minutes, longer if you'd like it stronger. Best enjoyed with a bit of honey.
  3. Uses: anti-anxiety, sleep, relaxing, divination, meditation, scrying

Notes

Dried herbs & teas can be purchased either online or often at your local health food or natural or wellness store.

rosemary & roasted strawberry buttermilk muffins

Yield: about a dozen muffins

These muffins are painfully simple, an excellent addition to a cup of tea, and a great way to welcome the berry of spring as it just starts to make its appearance. The addition of fresh herbs and a hint of vanilla make these muffins special, and pro tip: the same batter makes killer pancakes too! Just halve the butter.

Ingredients

    for the strawberries
  • 1 pint of strawberries, hulled, halved, & sliced
  • 1 teaspoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 5 cracks fresh ground pepper
  • pinch of kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped rosemary
  • For Muffins
  • 115 grams (4 oz / 1/2 cup) granulated sugar
  • seeds of half a vanilla bean (optional)
  • 250 grams (8 oz / 2 cups) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons rosemary, finely minced
  • 113 grams (4 oz / 1 stick) unsalted butter, melted & room temp
  • 2 eggs, room temp & lightly whisked
  • 230 g (8 oz / 1 cup) buttermilk, room temp
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • the roasted strawberries, cooled to room temp

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 450°F. On a sheet tray, toss berries with the oil, honey, salt & pepper, and rosemary. Roast for about 15-20 minutes or until thick & jammy, being careful to not let juices burn. Put in a small bowl and allow to cool (I pop mine in the freezer for a few minutes to expedite this process).
  2. Reduce oven temp to 350°F.
  3. Meanwhile, while the berries are roasting, combine the sugar with the vanilla bean seeds (if using) with your fingers, breaking up the clumps and dispersing evenly. In a large bowl combine the flour, vanilla sugar, baking powder, salt, and rosemary. Stir with a whisk to combine well.
  4. In a separate bowl whisk your eggs lightly with a fork, just to make them homogenous. Add your buttermilk, butter, vanilla extract, and the roasted strawberries along with their jammy juices. Stir to combine thoroughly.
  5. Add the wet ingredients to the dry, and stir to just combine so that no dry bits remain. Don't worry about lumps, and don't over stir. You want your muffins to be tender!
  6. Lightly grease a muffin tin and fill the cups almost to the top but not quite. I used a 1/3 cup measure for my tin.
  7. Bake for about 30 minutes or until muffins are golden and a cake tester or paring knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool for a few minutes in the pan, and then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling to your desired eating temperature! (I like them almost hot...with butter. And of course a cup of magical, herbal tea.)

    Experimenting with different herbs (especially isolating them and really becoming familiar with what each has to offer) has been a special adventure for me this year. Love that you collect them (and give them away, what wonderful gifts!) and especially love these labels! Also, YAY for having your oven back!!!! I can’t think of a better baked good to christen it. Finally, you should know I’m like a little kid on Christmas Day whenever I see a new post of yours — so much aesthetic inspiration at my fingertips! Pinterest, watch out. Thank you for this, Beth!

      You could definitely put creme fraiche in these, but I’d use liquid in addition to it because it’s not going to be quite as moist as the buttermilk. If you have milk I’d dilute the creme fraiche with that or even a little water.

    What a wonderful ode to herbs. I was amazed by all the herbs you have sitting on your pantry shelves – oh how I would love to see them all! The strawberry buttermilk muffins sound amazing. I’ll make them as soon as strawberries are in season (I bought some from Spain the other day and they tasted of absolutely nothing…).
    Congrats for finally getting an oven! It’s a huge deal, really. Hope you get the kitchen of your dreams.

    Have a weekend full of joy & laughter (and tea! and fried eggs!),

    lovely looking muffins. they certainly seem to me to be a much better way to break in a new oven than a roast would. do you sell your tea blends? I would like to try that blend as my third eye could use a bit of gentle coaxing and I in general need some relaxing. However, I don’t have a good local source of herbs and don’t want to buy quantities on line as I’m in a very tiny space and have no storage room

    When it comes to tea and tea parties, I don’t really believe there’s a proper way to go about it. But if there were, yours’ sounds like the kind that I wouldn’t mind sitting down to. And if I couldn’t be at your tea party, then I might wish to be a fly or something on your wall, just so I could watch the whole endeavor go down- from blending, to baking, to photographing, to meditating in the heat of a renewed stove, a renewed soul.

    Thanks for sharing a glimpse of your world. You’ve got something really beautiful here, Beth.

    I absolutely loved this piece. As usual, the pictures were beautiful, and you always seem to capture in a photograph the feeling of peacefulness cooking and the kitchen give to me. This time it was your words that spoke to me. I, too, was recently cut off from our kitchen when we had water damage, and it truly felt like my center of peace had been ripped out. It’s where I go when I’m feeling overwhelmed and need to think, and it was gone. Thanks for sharing, and I’m glad life can get back to normal for you.

    I’ve been fascinated with herbs for years.
    I long for early June just so I can pick the wild roses on my morning walks. They are dried and blended with all my favorite flowers (mint, lavender, chamomile and more) for my Sweet Dreams Tea. My jar is getting low, so early summer can’t get here so enough!
    I wish everyone knew how wonderful herbs and flowers are for their own teas and things.

    I just tried your rosemary & roasted strawberry buttermilk muffins recipe for a nice Easter morning brunch. Wonderful recipe, love the balance of sweet and savory. Your recipes and photos truly inspire. Thanks for sharing!

    This recipe was great! I made 1/2 the batter into muffins and the other half into pancakes (as suggested). Amazing! Both were very good. 🙂 Thanks for the recipe!
