Sadie helped, trailing along after, whispering about this and that product over my shoulder, peering at my scribbled notes. I found Amy, Dana and Brian at their little card table, sandwiched on either side by the cloth-wrapped soaps and homemade jams and jellies one usually finds at such a market.

Soda water and a repel wolves dose of Fire Cider for Amy....[/caption] All you need... 1 pint of soda water 1 teaspoon to a full shot of Fire Cider, you know how much you need! Combine and Drink up! [caption id="attachment_458" align="aligncenter" width="538"]
...Fire Soder! kinda looks like orange soder. The similarities end there.[/caption] You can make the same drink, only hot, using 2 mugs, 16 oz of boiling water and as much Fire Cider as you like for an immune boosting eye opener to share with whomever is coughing and sniffling near you, you're welcome! They will probably thank you. Perhaps add a heaping teaspoon of fresh grated ginger root or ginger tea, now you're on to something. To your health!
