How to Make Fire Cider {Natural Remedies}
This isn't a recipe so much as a guideline for making fire cider. Use as much or as little of each item. Ultimately you want to fill your jar 1/2 way with aromatics & herbs, and then top it off with apple cider vinegar. Last year I went with a large 4-cup mason jar. This year I decided to make smaller batches in pint-sized jars.
- Aromatics chopped (fresh horseradish root, fresh ginger root, fresh garlic cloves, cayenne pepper)
- Herbs whole or chopped, if you like (fresh sage, lemon thyme, lemon balm)
- Apple Cider Vinegar preferably with the "mother"
Combine the ingredients in a large mason jar, or small jars (read the headnote above). Close tightly, give it a shake, and set the jar in a cool spot, out of direct sunlight. Give the jar a shake daily. The cider is ready to drink in one month. You can simply pour it through a strainer as you need, or strain the entire batch at once (discard the solids).
