Sunbasket’s Project Manager for Content, Christina Stork, is a living, breathing episode of Portlandia (minus the unbearable smugness). She knits ponchos (in fact she wrote a book about them), makes ceramic mugs and planters, and crochets rag rugs. She raises ducks in her backyard and brews kombucha in her kitchen. Did we mention that she's also a DJ and an amateur mixologist? (You want her at your party.) This Thanksgiving, she's mixing up a batch of winter spice syrup. Christina uses it as a base for cocktails, a flavoring for cookies (in place of vanilla extract), and she drizzles it on cakes and over ice cream. It's her secret weapon—from brunch to dessert to drinks. And when she's a guest, guess what she brings as a gift?
