Class Description

Description

Enjoy an afternoon of hands-on herbal alchemy as you explore the history, benefits, and practical magic of fire cider—a traditional cold-weather tonic of garlic, onion, ginger, horseradish, and cayenne pepper steeped in apple cider vinegar and rooted in folk herbalism. Learn how aromatic herbs, pungent roots, and warming spices work together to support immunity, boost circulation, and bring heat to the body during the colder months. Class includes a presentation, a demonstration, tasting of three fire cider varieties, and guided instructions on crafting your own. You will leave with both knowledge and experience, along with a sample of your own fire cider.
