My favorite Weapon for cold and flu season-fire cider Recipe!

When my family visited recently… they brought COVID as a souvenir : )

So I ran straight to Pilgrim’s, our local coop, and grabbed some Fire Cider!

My husband and I did not get sick — and I’m convinced it’s because we move exercise daily, eat clean, and keep our immune systems dialed in … and take the occasional shot or two of this. That and a little Fire Cider, my favorite herbal tonic that strengthens immunity, help with digestion, and warm you up on a cold day!

Fire Cider is an old-school herbal remedy that:

🌶️ Strengthens immunity

🌿 Boosts digestion

🔥 Warms you right up on a cold Idaho day

Here’s my favorite fire cider recipe:

INGREDIENTS:

• ½ cup freshly peeled + grated ginger root

• ½ cup freshly grated horseradish root

• 1 medium onion, chopped

• 10 cloves garlic, crushed or chopped

• 2 organic jalapeños, chopped (optional 😉)

• 1 lemon, zest + juice

• 2 Tbsp dried rosemary leaves

• 1 Tbsp turmeric powder or 2 Tbsp fresh grated turmeric

• ¼ tsp cayenne

• Organic unfiltered apple cider vinegar

• ¼ cup raw honey (or to taste)

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Add everything except the vinegar + honey into a quart jar.

2. Pour apple cider vinegar over until fully covered (no floating bits to avoid spoilage).

3. Cover with parchment under the lid (or use a plastic lid).

4. Shake it up and store in a cool, dark place for 4–6 weeks, giving it a shake every couple of days.

5. Strain with cheesecloth, squeeze out every drop

6. Stir in honey to taste.

7. Store sealed in the fridge.

Do a shot of this when you feel a cold coming on, or before a meal for an extra kick.
