Join herbalist, Lesley Vernon, of Appalachian Alchemy for her most cherished workshop of the year, Fire Cider! There is something special about gathering around a table with your community, sharing stories, wisdom, and making herbal medicine together. 🫚
Prepare for the colder months ahead by learning how to create this herbal tonic that has been a staple in apothecaries since the 1980s. This super immune boosting preparation is a powerful anti-viral loaded with high doses of vitamin C used to prevent cold and flu or shorten the duration if symptoms are already present. If you have one herbal remedy in your fall/winter arsenal, make it fire cider.
In this hands-on workshop you will
- Review the History of Fire Cider and its many uses
- Create your own quart to take home
- Explore various traditional recipes
- Learn many ways to use and prepare fire cider & herbal vinegars
- Proper dosage
- Sample Fire Cider and oxymels
✨ Leave with a fully detailed worksheet with class outline & notes, herb monographs, recipes, book recommendations, and more.
*Participants please bring a cutting board, sharp knife (big one) and a quart size mason jar with lids. All other supplies will be provided.
If you already know how to make fire cider, I still encourage you to come out on this special day to create some with your community. We always have such a blast. Come learn and play.
