Fire Cider Workshop with LeAnn of A Thousand Leaves Herb Shop
Join founder and owner of A Thousand Leaves Herb Shop, LeAnne Averell, for a hands-on workshop to create your own Fire Cider at the Giving Garden. This is an age-old traditional herbal preparation that has been used for centuries to deliver warmth to the tissues, help ward off immune imbalances, stimulate digestion, and support circulation. It is produced by compounding the most pungent roots, vegetables, herbs and spices and infusing them into apple cider vinegar. The outcome is a liquid-fire extract known as Fire Cider. Just in time for the coming winter months, when cold weather taxes our immune system, this workshop is offered to equip you with your own mason jar of medicinal goodness. Plus, you will gain knowledge to create your own fire ciders for years to come!
