Fire Cider Workshop

138th Street Community Garden

Bronx, NY 10454

Fire cider—an herbal tonic—is a traditional remedy that stimulates digestion and supports respiratory wellness. As an immunity booster, it’s also helpful for warding off colds and flu during colder months. Fire cider is the perfect fall tonic that connects us to traditional practices used by many BIPOC communities. The Humanities Institute will partner with 138^th Street Community Garden in the Bronx to offer a free community workshop. We will be using accessible household ingredients such as garlic, ginger, onion, pepper, turmeric root, horseradish root, lemon, honey, apple cider vinegar, and different herbs to make this warming remedy to prepare us for the months ahead.

Participants will have the opportunity to make their own fire cider.
