Fire Cider

[glaive]

I started a batch of fire cider on Halloween. I used a pretty basic mixture:

• 1 onion
• 1 orange
• 1 lemon
• handful of garlic cloves
• Fresno peppers
• ginger root
• turmeric root
• horseradish root
• whole cloves
• cinnamon sticks
• ground turmeric

I sliced everything up thinly and put it in a 2q ball jar, covered with ACV and will let it steep for a few weeks, doing some prayers to Helios over it during sun hours to help with seasonal mood changes. Otherwise I drink a shot of it with raw honey when I have a cold or allergies are acting up, it really clears out the sinuses!

Anyone have a specific recipe they like to use?

Funny - I just happened to see this post when sitting down to have some tea after....just bottling a batch of Fire Cider! Totally missed it the rest of the week.

I added a lot of rose hip to mine, lime, and used a couple habanero peppers, but I love heat like that. Otherwise basically the same recipe. 3L jar packed to the top and I just got exactly 1L before honey was added.

Yum! I will definitely have to put rose hips in the next batch. Sounds like a nice addition.
