Fire Cider Recipe

It's fire cider time! Fire Cider is old school medicine to help soothe sore throats and kick colds quick during the winter months. Now is the perfect time to make it because it has to sit for 6 weeks before use!

I am sharing with you, one of my renditions of fire cider. Note: chopping these ingredients up may knock your socks off! Try not to touch your eyes until after your all done.

What You'll Need:

Half gallon-sized mason jar

1/2 cup grated ginger root

1/2 cup grated horseradish root

1 yellow onion, chopped

10 cloves of garlic, chopped

2 jalapeno peppers, chopped (seeds included!)

8 chili/cayenne/habanero peppers...do it, you won't regret it!

4 sprigs fresh rosemary, twig excluded

1 lemon, zested and quartered

2 tablespoons honey

Place all ingredients in the jar, pour 2 cups unfiltered apple cider vinegar over ingredients into jar (or as much as you need to cover everything). Close jar with either a plastic lid or cheese cloth with a metal lid. *The apple cider vinegar reacts with metal, so it's important to keep the lid protected.

Let infuse for 6 weeks. Strain and drink 2 tablespoons as needed. Be well, my friends!
