Fire cider is an herbal tonic said to increase immunity, help with digestion, and warm you up on a cold day. The basic recipe combines horseradish, ginger, garlic, onions, and hot pepper dissolved in apple cider vinegar. The hot peppers make it fiery. The concoction sits in a mason jar for about a month to infuse.

Basic Ingredients

  • ½ cup chopped garlic
  • ½ cup chopped onions
  • ½ cup grated ginger
  • ½ cup grated horseradish
  • ½ cup hot peppers
  • 2-3 cup raw apple cider vinegar (meaning, with the Mother)

  2. Top with apple cider till full
  3. Close and let sit away from direct sunlight for two weeks
