🔥 Fired Up🔥
A Fire Cider Making Workshop
Fire cider has been a staple of folk herbalism for generations, and for good reason. This pungent, zesty vinegar infusion has a long history of traditional use, and once you taste it, you'll understand why it has stood the test of time. (And yes, it makes an absolutely incredible salad dressing too.)'
What is Fire Cider?
Fire cider is a vinegar-based tonic rooted in herbal traditions. Packed with ingredients like garlic, ginger, horseradish, rosemary, and onions, it offers a bold, invigorating flavor that’s as functional as it is delicious.
We'll gather in a small group, learn about the history and tradition behind fire cider, and then get to work. You'll chop, layer, and craft your own individual batch using traditional ingredients like ginger, onions, garlic, and fresh herbs from the garden, then take your creation home to do its magic.
All materials and supplies are included. No prior herbal experience needed.
