The Alchemical Herbarium
Investment: $150
Tea + Herbal Instruction + Manual + Your Own Fire Cider Included
Limited to 8 Guests
An evening of roots, fire, folklore, and old-world herbal magic.
As summer begins to loosen its hold and we turn toward the darker, cooler months, the apothecary changes with the season. Roots are unearthed, warming spices return to the shelves, and jars begin filling with pungent herbs, vinegar, honey, and the preparations generations before us reached for as autumn settled in.
For September’s Alchemy Tuesday, we’re making Fire Cider.
Part herbal preparation, part kitchen witchery, Fire Cider is a bold traditional tonic made by steeping warming roots, herbs, spices, and other botanicals in apple cider vinegar. It is fiery, earthy, wonderfully potent, and one of those preparations that makes an autumn apothecary feel truly alive.
We’ll gather around the table with tea while exploring the plants traditionally used in Fire Cider, the folk herbalism behind this beloved preparation, and the art of creating a formula that is both functional and delicious. Then we’ll roll up our sleeves to chop, layer, pour, blend, and bottle our own preparations, each guest leaving with a personal jar of Fire Cider to continue its slow alchemy at home over the weeks ahead.
Your evening includes seasonal tea from Five Goddess Farm, two hours of intimate hands-on herbal instruction, a beautifully curated Fire Cider manual to keep, all ingredients and supplies, your own handcrafted jar to take home, and guidance for steeping, straining, storing, and using your finished preparation.
This is herbalism the way I love it most: sensory, seasonal, practical, a little wild, and deeply rooted in relationship with the plants.
No previous herbal experience is necessary. Come curious, come ready to get your hands messy, and come make a little autumn magic for your home apothecary.
Only 8 spaces are available so that we can gather intimately around the table.
