Fire cider workshop at Esk Mountain

Make an immune boosting tonic for winter colds & flu, with herbalist Helen Morgan.

Fire cider is a potent herbal remedy made with herbs and spices infused into vinegar. It can be taken daily as a preventative tonic in shots, drinks and food, or as a helpful medicine when the beginnings of illness appear. Organic fire cider typically retails at €20-€40, and of course, ours will be better because it will be tailored to who you are.

Fire cider is alcohol free. 

What will we get up to? 

Nestled within the beautiful woodland of Esk Mountain, we will taste and learn about different kitchen remedies for winter illnesses. Learning what herbs we can use for all kinds of winter ailments (sore throats, chesty coughs, headaches, seasonal depression ect) before heading on a foraging walk to discover the native medicinal plants around us and how to use them. We'll return to the campfire to make our own unique potion tailored to our own bodies, with herbs both foraged & provided. 

I will provide a lovely herbal tea, snacks and many tasters of kitchen remedies for all.
