Description
Course outline
Celebrate the bright, uplifting flavours and fragrances of citrus in this hands-on two-week workshop. Across both sessions, you’ll explore a range of zesty, aromatic creations that are perfect for gifting—or keeping for yourself. You’ll begin by crafting a luxurious lemon salt scrub, learning how to blend natural ingredients into a nourishing, spa-quality exfoliant. Then we’ll move into the kitchen to prepare beautifully candied orange slices and orange rind, starting the multi-day process needed to achieve perfectly translucent, jewel-like results (with the option to dip them in chocolate at a later session). In addition, you’ll make a silky “three-citrus curd” using a blend of lemons, limes, and oranges—cooked gently and bottled to enjoy at home or give as a handmade treat. By the end of the workshop, you’ll have a collection of vibrant citrus delights, new preserving skills, and plenty of fragrant creations to enjoy or share.
What to bring
Bring a Tea towel and a container(s) for transporting goodies home. An apron if you wish. The cost of all materials/ingredients are vegetarian and are included within your course fee.
