With Kira Louzon-Heisler, Brooklyn Botanic Garden

Fire cider, a folk remedy made from pungent and spicy herbs infused in a blend of apple cider vinegar and honey, is typically made in anticipation of cold and flu season to support respiratory, circulatory, and immune health. Guided by a certified community herbalist, learn the history and chemistry of fire ciders, then choose from a selection of autumn crops, like spicy peppers, garlic, onions, and herbs, to make your own personalized concoction for yourself and your community. Take home an herbal plant to try!
