Fire Cider
A traditional herbal remedy used for colds and flus
INGREDIENTS
- 1/2 cup fresh grated ginger root
- 1/2 cup fresh grated horseradish root
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 10 cloves of garlic, crushed or chopped
- 2 cayenne peppers, chopped
- 1 lemon, chopped with peel
- 1 orange, chopped with peel
- Several sprigs of fresh rosemary or 2 TBSP of dried rosemary
- 2 TBSP chopped fresh turmeric or 1 TBSP turmeric powder
- Unpasteurized apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup raw local honey to taste
DIRECTIONS
Prepare all of the ingredients and place them into a quart jar (it takes me two jars). Cover all ingredients with apple cider vinegar. Use a piece of natural parchment paper or waxed paper under the lid to keep the vinegar from touching the metal. Shake daily. After 3-4 weeks, use cheesecloth to strain.
Add 1/4 cup of honey and stir until incorporated. Taste your cider and add honey until you reach the desired sweetness.
Take one spoonful daily as a tonic or 2 tablespoons four times a day for colds and flu.
