Prepare for the cold & flu season ahead by joining us to make a huge batch of Fire Cider!
We will be using herbs and vegetables from our farmstead gardens to a huge batch of Fire Cider. Participants will have lots of options for customizing their own Fire Cider with spices, herbs and medicinal mushrooms of their choice.
What is Fire Cider?
Fire Cider is a delicious potent healthful medicinal vinegar that is sipped as a digestif or added to water, soup stock or salad dressings.
It is used to help ward off colds and flu, and promote digestive health.
It is made by infusing spices, herbs and "fiery" vegetables (typically hot peppers, onions, garlic, horseradish, ginger, etc) in raw apple cider vinegar and honey.
Using simple, fresh, seasonal vegetables and herbs from our farm gardens we will make a big batch of Fire Cider together. You will have the opportunity to customize your Fire Cider by adding your own choice of extra spices, herbs, berries and medicinal mushrooms.
What to bring along:
- apron
- kitchen gloves (optional, for handling hot peppers, garlic, turmeric, horseradish)
- knife & cutting board
- two x litre mason jars
Pay by donation! Includes all instructions, recipes, hand-out notes, and ingredients.
