Fire Cider, the easy-to-make and beloved herbal remedy, is a home herbalist’s staple and go-to for seasonal wellness. In this hands-on workshop, we’ll learn about the plants typically included in fire cider (and then some)…and then we’ll chop! Herbs and vegetables, that is ~ participants will walk away with a quart of their very own spicy brew to keep them well and warm for the months ahead. Jars will be provided but if you have an extra quart jar, please bring it. And feel free to bring extra hot peppers from your garden, or any other fresh herbs you’d like to share with the group.
