Learn how to make two immunity boosting “tonics” from 6 to 8 p.m. Sept. 26 at Pine River Library, 395 Bayfield Center Drive, Bayfield.
Participants will make a bottle of elderberry syrup and a jar of “fire cider,” a traditional cold and flu remedy out of ingredients found at the grocery store. Fire cider is a spicy apple cider vinegar tonic that contains immune-boosting, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and decongestant foods and herbs perfect for supporting winter health. This tonic has been used for generations to help relieve sinus congestion, ward off sickness, aid digestion, and increase circulation.
Elderberry syrup is a one to one mix of elderberry juice and local raw honey, with a bit of lemon juice. It’s an effective daily tonic as well as a throat soothing cough syrup. It can also be used to sweeten tea in the morning or evening. It can be used in conjunction with the fire cider, if taken at different times of the day.
Pre-registration required. There is a $15 materials fee for the class.
