🍁 It’s FALL! 🍁

One of my favorite little activities to do this time of year is make Fire Cider! It’s a little bit of a waiting game but worth it!

Fire Cider is an age-old remedy used by generations as a remedy to ward off colds and flus and boost the immune system. There are many variations but they're all made with herbs stewed in apple cider vinegar; the vinegar acts as a preservative so you can keep it on a shelf and take a spoonful through the winter when fresh herbs aren’t as available.

Fire Cider Recipe

Ingredients

  • Start with a quart (4 cups) of raw unfiltered apple cider vinegar (at least 5% acidity)

  • About 1/3 cup grated horseradish and ginger roots

  • 1/4 cup peeled and diced turmeric (or 2 tablespoons dried, powdered turmeric)

  • Half a dozen cloves of minced garlic

  • 1/2 cup peeled and diced onion
