It’s that time, y’all! 🔥Fire Cider Time🔥 An oxymel that makes a great staple in everyone’s Autumn & Winter medicine cabinet. Traditionally fire cider consists of 5 ingredients - fresh ginger (1/2 cup) onion (1/2 cup) garlic (10 cloves) horse radish(1/2 cup) hot peppers (to taste but use at least 1) Then suspended in apple cider vinegar. You can get creative by adding other ingredients such as citrus, rosemary, cinnamon, peppercorns and star anise! Combine all the ingredients in an air tight jar and allow to sit at least a month (and up to 6 weeks) in a dark cool space. Shake daily. After a month strain out the solids and reserve the liquid. Add honey to taste (traditionally 1 part honey to 4 parts vinegar). Store in the fridge for up to a year and take a shot anytime you feel a cold/flu coming on. #firecider #oxymel #tonic #plantmagic #plantmedicine #herbalappothecary #peppers #faeriemagazine #herbalacademy #herbalism #plantbased
