Fire Cider

Taking care of our health starts at home, and fire cider has earned a place in my kitchen as a trusted natural remedy. Made with raw apple cider vinegar, garlic, onions, ginger, and a few other bold ingredients, it’s strong, simple, and effective. I don’t rely on trends—just time-tested, honest solutions that help keep my family well. Fire cider supports the immune system and gives the body a natural boost, especially during the colder months. It’s not fancy or sweet, but it works—and that’s what matters. Sometimes the old ways really are the best ways to stay well.

Ingredients

Hot peppers
Onions
Garlic
Horseradish
Ginger root
Turmeric root optional
Cinnamon sticks optional
Black peppercorns optional
Thyme optional
Rosemary optional
Parsley optional
Whole cloves optional

Method

Into a jar of any size put equal amounts of coarsely chopped hot peppers, onions, garlic, horseradish, ginger root. Add in the optional ingredients.
Fill the jar with raw apple cider vinegar, turn the lid on tight and let set for 2-6 weeks, shaking occasionally .
After 2-6 weeks strain out the veggies from the vinegar. The vinegar will have drawn the nutritional benefits from the veggies and is now your fire cider.
Store: In a cool dark place like the refrigerator, I store mine in the cold room for 18 months to 2 years.
Use at the first sign of illness we take one ounce of fire cider, and then continue with 1-2 tablespoons every few hours as long as symptoms persist.
If children find the fire cider too spicy to take, mix with a bit of raw honey to make it more palatable.
