<![CDATA[Lempuing Subdistrict, Bengkulu City, has abundant herbal plants in residents' yards, but the community's knowledge and skills in processing them into healthy drinks are still limited. This community service activity aims to improve the knowledge, skills, and business readiness of housewives in processing herbal plants into healthy drinks. The implementation method uses a participatory extension approach with three stages: planning (observation and interviews), implementation (extension, demonstration, direct practice of making ginger tea and infused water), and evaluation using the CIPP model. The target of the activity was 20 housewives from RT 04, Lempuing Subdistrict. The results of the activity showed an increase in participants' understanding of the benefits of herbal plants and the dangers of consuming packaged instant drinks. All participants successfully practiced making herbal drinks independently with hygienic results. As many as 40% of participants expressed interest in developing this product into a home business. The hands-on training has proved effective in improving community skills while opening up economic opportunities based on local resources.]]>
