Fire Cider Tonic Recipe in Lockdown

Foraging is something I have learnt bits and pieces of over the last year of living in the Lake District and I am absolutely loving it. The idea that we can live off our surroundings and most of us don't even know how much of what grows around us is edible is amazing.

There is delicious food growing everywhere which is rich in so much goodness. Not only that, but lots of it is amazing to use as medicine in the home.

Did you know daisies are incredible for bruises?

Much nicer than using horrible chemicals on our skin.

I have also been working with an amazing herbalist called Lesley from Sophiology Wise. We have a couple of very exciting projects which are on going so I am lucky enough to be filled with her amazing wisdom regularly. You can check out her stuff here.

This week I decided that I was going to make my first Fire Cider Tonic using some ingredients I would forage on one of my lockdown walks.
