Fire cider is a powerful botanical concoction that combines a host of antibacterial and anti-inflammatory ingredients marinated for several weeks in ACV. It can be used as a potent cold and flu buster or for digestive support. Make it extra special by adding a couple of tablespoons of goji berries to the marinating mix.
Ingredients
- 1 medium onion chopped
- 4 or 5 garlic cloves chopped
- 1/4 cup freshly grated ginger
- 1/4 cup freshly grated horseradish
- 1 small whole red chili seeded
- 2 cups apple cider vinegar plus extra if needed
Instructions
- In medium canning jar, combine ingredients, adding enough vinegar to completely cover other ingredients. Apply lid to canning jar and shake to blend. Place in cool, dark place for up to 1 month.
- After 1 month, strain through cheesecloth-lined sieve, squeezing out as much liquid as possible. Clean canning jar and return vinegar to clean jar. Refrigerate until ready to serve; it can be refrigerated for up to 1 month. To serve, add 1 Tbsp to a cup of hot water.
