I love mugwort, dried or fresh it does not matter. The aroma sends me into heady reverie, and I love making drinks with it, and adding it to fruit salads etc.
This evening I wanted something a little different, more a scented fruit drink, and so I went to work. Out popped this divine smoothie, giving mugwort centre stage.
Ingredients
- 1 banana
- 8 strawberries
- 2 tsps mugwort flower buds (dried or fresh)
- ½ tsp turmeric
- 1 tsp ginger (freshly grated)
- 2 tbsp kefir or natural yoghurt
- 1 tbsp rice syrup
- salt & pepper
Put all ingredients into a blender. Start blending slowly, then increase speed incrementally. Drink and enjoy!
Serves: 2

Sorry for taking so long to say thankyou for leaving a comment on my leopards bane post and I’ve actually linked to your blog in the past. The thought of a foraging smoothie sounds great though our mugwort won’t be in flower here until much later in the summer while it’s the Elderflower that has just started flowering here in Scotland.
Hi – wonderful site – must share with all of my friends
A little suggestion if I may – it would be very helpful if your pages could include a short description of what these recipes taste like.
Kindest Regards
