Make Your Own Fire Cider WorkshopInstructor: Local Herbalist Amanda Calkins
Join us at Wild Willow Farm for a hands-on workshop where you’ll learn how to craft your very own batch of fire cider, a powerful herbal remedy known for its immune-boosting and warming properties.
Fire cider is a spicy, tangy tonic traditionally used to combat colds, aid digestion, and increase circulation. Packed with ingredients like apple cider vinegar, garlic, ginger, horseradish, and hot peppers, it provides a potent boost to the immune system during the colder months.
The Benefits of Fire Cider:
• Supports the immune system, especially during flu season
• Improves digestion and circulation
• Reduces inflammation and congestion
• Packed with antimicrobial and antiviral properties
Different Recipes of Fire Cider:
While the base ingredients remain the same—apple cider vinegar, garlic, ginger, horseradish, and peppers—variations may include turmeric for added anti-inflammatory benefits, citrus zest for extra vitamin C, or honey to balance the heat with sweetness. Each participant will have the option to personalize their recipe with a selection of locally sourced herbs and spices.
Fire cider has deep roots in traditional herbalism, with origins in the folk remedies passed down through generations. Popularized in the 1970s by renowned herbalist Rosemary Gladstar, it has become a staple in many natural medicine cabinets. Its bold, fiery flavor is said to ignite warmth and vitality within, symbolizing resilience against the cold and harshness of winter.
All materials will be provided, and you will leave with your own jar of fire cider, ready to ferment and enjoy!
