#firecider

Fire Cider is an increasingly poplar herbal folk remedy that is a pleasant (if you like particularly hot foods) and easy way to boost natural health processes, stimulate digestion, warmed up on the on cold days. During the cold months, I take some most mornings as a way to steer away colds. I’ve often put some in hot water with lemon and honey, used it in a salad dressings, used in stir fry, etc. Because it is a folk preparation, I find the ingredients shift from year to year, adding and omitting specific herbs and ingredients. However, it always includes apple cider vinegar, garlic, onion, ginger, horseradish, and hot peppers, and honey. It typically is taken by the spoonful but can be adapted for taste and preference. ——————- 2 cups apple cider vinegar 1/2 to 1 cup honey 1/2 cup horseradish 8 cloves of garlic, chopped 1/2 onion 1/2 cup ginger 1/2 cup fresh turmeric OR 1 tbsp dried turmeric 1 sliced jalapeño 1/2 lemon 1/2 orange 1 tsp peppercorns 2 whole cinnamon sticks 2 rosemary sprigs 4 thyme sprigs Prepare ingredients and place them in a sterilized quart-sized glass jar. Pour the apple cider vinegar and honey in the jar until all of the ingredients are covered and the vinegar reaches the jar's top. I put a fermentation weight on mine, but that is just a preference. Use a piece of cheese cloth under the lid to keep the vinegar from touching the metal. Shake well. Store in a dark, cool place for a month, shaking daily. Once down, strain, bottle, and label. 

Got to see the Fire Cider people publicly anouncing their victory yesterday. They went through a years-long legal battle to stop a company from stealing the name “fire cider”, which had been used in the herbal community for decades prior to the company trademarking it. Historic and precedent setting; we’re all very grateful for their work. . . . #traditionsnottrademark #herbalists #firecider #freefirecider https://www.instagram.com/p/B3lMqI_l46B/?igshid=12vbu0iqzkdr2

Just tried my first shot of @firecidershirecity and it burns so GOOD. Do yourself a favor and pick some up. I found mine at Sprouts on Tatum and Cactus. It's in the vitamin section. #Hipstamatic #Diego #BlankoFreedom13#firecider #burnssogoodgoingdown (at Paradise Valley, Arizona)
