Fire Cider is a time-honored, tangy-sweet tonic that has been used for centuries as a herbal remedy. Rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, it's a perfect concoction to help keep your body healthy.
We’ve made this super easy for you, and have prepared a kit of everything you need minus the apple cider vinegar. Here's a little step-by-step guide on how to make it:
- Start by grating your fresh ginger, turmeric root, and horseradish. All of these ingredients have anti-inflammatory properties that help fortify your body.
- Next, add the cayenne pepper we've portioned for you. With its powerful heat and rich antioxidants, this ingredient not only invigorates the senses but supports cardiovascular health and circulation as well.
- Chop your garlic, onions, and lemons. These powerhouses contain essential vitamins and compounds that will support your immune system.
- Now, here's the fun part: Combine these ingredients in a large mason jar, in the proportions we've provided for you, and fill the rest of the jar with apple cider vinegar, (optional - add 2 teaspoons of honey).
- Let this spicy-sweet blend sit in a dark place for two weeks or more.
- Once it has infused, give it a vigorous shake before straining. Keep it refrigerated and enjoy your homemade Fire Cider, a tablespoon each day.
Please note: For a traditional Fire Cider recipe, honey is not an essential ingredient during the preparation process. While Fire Cider can be enjoyed without honey, many recipes incorporate it to soften the otherwise intense spiciness of apple cider vinegar and the other fiery elements like ginger, horseradish, and cayenne pepper.
Included in kit:
Fresh Ontario tumeric, organic ginger, local horseradish, Niagara garlic, lemon, orange, local dried cayenne, and local onion.
Not included: Apple cider vinegar. Honey.
