Fire Tonic Kitchen Cold Remedies
Looking to kick the cold season in a natural and convenient way? Come learn about the various culinary herbs that aid in fighting the common cold and that are found in your very own spice rack.
We'll be taking a closer look at 8 common culinary herbs and spices, their medicinal properties, and ways to prepare them. We will dive into the best herbal preparation for each plant, whether it be a warm tea, herbal steam bath, or infused honey. Observing and sampling as we go along! Then we'll roll up our sleeves and make Fire Tonic. Fire Tonic, better known as Fire Cider, is a traditional herbal cold remedy that is made infusing vinegar with powerful spices and vegetables. These spicy additions are immune-boosting, anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, anti-viral, decongesting, and promote circulation. Popularized by herbalist Rosemary Gladstar in the 1980's, this fiery beverage has been prepared and passed down for many generations and is still greatly enjoyed today. So next time you feel cold symptoms coming on you'll be better prepared to reach into the spice cabinet! You will leave the class with one mason jar of freshly made Fire Tonic, recipes, and the happy feeling of bringing something naturally amazing into your life and starting your very own apothecary.
