Please pre-register; class size is limited 

Fire cider is a digestive tonic traditionally made in the fall season and used as a cold and flu preventative. It derives its name from the combination of wild-collected natural ingredients, including spicy roots, fruit, and hardy herbs, balanced with lemons and honey. Get hands-on experience preparing the ingredients while Nichole discusses oxymels and folk medicine in early America. Take home a quart of fire cider to keep you warm and well this winter.

Participants must bring a sharp knife, a cutting board, a grater, and a quart jar.
