Ahh, fire cider. A staple for the fall and winter season. I’m going to show you how I make this traditional remedy. Follow along!
I take a spoonful of the cider daily. It helps me protect my immune system when it’s most vulnerable during the cold and flu season.
WHAT IS FIRE CIDER?
Fire cider is a herbal tonic made with pungent herbs and immune-boosting ingredients. I make mine with all organic ingredients, like:
- horseradish root
- onion
- garlic
- ginger root
- cayenne pepper
- rosemary
- lemon
- orange
- jalapeño
A traditional folk remedy, these ingredients are known to support the immune system. It’s a popular concoction and the best part is that it’s totally customizable. Add herbs that support your needs. Let the herbs and veggies inspire you.
I stuffed all of the ingredients into a large Mason jar and covered with raw apple cider vinegar. Let everything infuse for 4-6 weeks. Be sure to give a good shake on a daily basis. And top off with more apple cider vinegar as needed. The goal is to keep all of the ingredients totally submerged into the apple cider vinegar.
