🌲 New Batch of Fire Cider Brewing at Black Locust Apothecary 🔥
This week we’re adding pine needles to our Fire Cider, and we couldn’t be more excited to share why this forest ally deserves a place in your jar.
Pine needles have a long history in folk herbalism and are traditionally valued for their aromatic, warming, and invigorating qualities. Rich in natural vitamin C and full of resinous compounds, pine brings a bright, forest-fresh flavor while supporting the body during the colder months.
✨ Why pine needles in Fire Cider?
• Traditionally used to support seasonal wellness
• Warming and stimulating—perfect for Fire Cider
• Aromatic and grounding, connecting us to the forest
• Adds a crisp, citrus-like flavor that balances vinegar and spice
As always, we work with the plants respectfully and intentionally, crafting our Fire Cider as a time-honored tonic rooted in tradition and connection to the land.
Here’s to slow brewing, wild plants, and keeping herbal traditions alive 🌿
