Roots & Fungi for Fall: Fire Cider, Dual-Extraction Tinctures, and Medicinal Broth
Saturday, OCTOBER 4, 11:00am–1:30 PM
As the days shorten and the air cools, nature shifts into a season that has the warm, earthy resonance of roots and mushrooms—a perfect time to prepare nourishing remedies for the months ahead. In this hands-on herbalism workshop, we’ll explore three powerful, kitchen-friendly ways to boost immunity and support seasonal wellness:
Fire Cider – a spicy, root-based apple cider vinegar infusion to warm the body and ward off colds (and throw in salad dressings!)
Dual-Extraction Mushroom Tincture – learn how to extract the full spectrum of medicinal benefits from fungi like reishi and turkey tail using both alcohol and water.
Medicinal Broth – discover how to transform roots, mushrooms, and herbs into a delicious, nutrient-rich broth for everyday seasonal nourishment.
You’ll chop, mix, and pour your own remedies to take home, sample a warming medicinal broth, and gain practical skills for building your own herbal apothecary. All ingredients and materials are provided, and no prior herbal experience is needed.
