Gløgg is the traditional mulled wine of Scandinavia made with red wine, mulling spices, ginger, and an extra boozy spike of aquavit – a nordic spirit distilled with caraway and star anise. Almonds, raisins, and orange drop into the mix, and a delicious alchemy of flavor ensues creating a complex and very drinkable winter cocktail.…

There’s really not a more cozy beverage than a hot apple cider. The spicy-sweet scent of cinnamon, clove, and apple wafting off the stove is a kind of nostalgic aromatherapy. In this recipe, we’ve built a spiced apple cider base with three optional add-ons that give it an herbal and boozy kick. We’ve made it…

Mab & Stoke was inspired by a personal discovery about the power of plants to soothe and heal our bodies. For me, there was one juice – my daily green juice – that lit the match. I started making it about three years ago to help reduce pain and inflammation in my back, and have…

We decided to cook up something devilishly decadent for Halloween, and this Pumpkin Pot de Creme seriously delivered. We gave it a Mab & Stoke twist with antioxidant rich (and seasonally appropriate) pumpkin and an herbal boost of Mab Tabs. It’s like pumpkin pie in a jar of silky custard goodness. Herbal infused foods tend…

Kick your energy into gear with oats in the morning. This pantry staple is amazing for supporting energy levels, immune health and a more cheery mood (the food equivalent of rose-tinted glasses). Adding a Mab Tab to your overnight oats up-levels the impact, plus it tastes delicious. We like organic gluten free oats, but any…

This fresh take on the Old Fashioned adds a twist of herbal hippie and a dash of bougie sophistication to your summer evening cocktail. The Mab Tab replaces traditional bitters (though feel free to add them in too long if you like!), and additions of fresh cherry and chamomile make this an anything but ordinary…

Get familiar with mycologist Paul Stamets’ work and you’ll come across this surprising fact: Humans share almost half the same genetic material as mushrooms, to the point we can contract many of the same viruses. And with such close DNA, he’s also quick to note it’s possible for humans to benefit from the survival structures…

The Farmer’s Market finally opened last weekend, and I was up and ready to go hours before the booths had even been set up. After this endlessly bleak winter, I’ve been dying for sun and fresh produce and the bright flavors you can really only get with fresh out of the ground ingredients. I take…

Because I co-founded and ran a startup for non-toxic skincare, it’s no surprise that people are constantly asking me about their skin. What products should they use? Is such and such actually worth the price? Should they just give up on ever having good skin? The gold roller, better than a gua sha stone? I…

When I first created Mab Tabs, I began with baseline immune supporting herbs for every blend. You can’t really help people feel amazing long term if you don’t support their immune health, so that’s where I started. That said, I never imagined, even 6 months ago, that immune support would be all anyone was talking…

By: Christina Mace-Turner This morning I spoke to a dear friend who lives in Florence, to check in as we have done every few days since COVID-19 exploded in Italy. When the topic first came up, she was on vacation with her family in the mountains of northern Italy, and while I was alarmed at…

Do we look and sound a little different? That’s intentional. We set out to shake things up and turn the wellness category on its head. Think of us as an antidote to the hype, overload, and ennui of the supplement space. We’ve invented something that’s everything you need at your core to stoke your inner…

We like to think of antioxidants as nature’s superheroes, here to protect us from the bad guys known as free radicals. Antioxidants neutralize free radicals, and free radicals, well, they’ve been known to cause all sorts of damage. Kind of a dramatic set up, but really, that’s the tension that exists between the two warring…

If you haven’t yet noticed, we have a deep love of ginger! We use it in Mab Tabs, make teas with it, add it to soups, spice cocktails with it, and last but not least, we put loads of it in baked goods. These cookies are an ode to ginger in all its spicy goodness.…

For many of us, the coming weeks can be the busiest of the year. With the combination of long to-do lists and the sweet promise of holiday baking ahead 😉, we thought an easy and satisfyingly light meal-in-a-blender smoothie was just the recipe we needed this week. This smoothie’s star is the Fuyu persimmon, which…

Our pros/cons list when it comes to winter looks something like this: For pros, there’s nothing like a cozy night in, that first snowfall and an herb-spiked hot drink. The cons? It’s dark before dinner, that snowfall has to get shoveled, and probably the most uncomfortable of all, dealing with chronically dry, unhappy winter skin. …

Hives, rashy, splotchy, or “grumpy” skin? If so, you are in excellent company. Some of us are genetically predisposed to inflamed and irritated skin. We get near a new jar of something wonderful looking, slather it on, and voila! A few hours (or even days) post-application we find that our cheeks are burning and looking…
