DIY Fire Cider: Fire Cider is a traditional folk remedy that has been used and shared for generations by herbalists to ward off sickness and promote health. Made with apple cider vinegar and honey, it is infused with a variety of pungent herbs: garlic, onions, horseradish, ginger, and hot peppers to name a few. There are many possible variations to create this tart & spicy, health tonic. Come learn more about the many properties of Fire Cider, as well as how to craft your own. Plus, you will leave with a jar to take home!
