FireCider - 24oz
Ever heard of fire cider? No?
OK. Think bloody mary-ish, but replace the booze and tomato juice with straight-up vinegar and a touch of honey.
It’s a health tonic that was created back in the 70s by an herbalist named Rosemary Gladstar, and lots of people swear by its ability to keep their immune system in tip-top shape.
So cozy up, because it’s time for a fireside(r) chat.
What is fire cider?
Fire cider is an interesting concoction made from a lineup of pungent and flavorful ingredients like:
horseradish
onions
These are all marinated in apple cider vinegar for up to 4 weeks — giving “home brew” a whole new, mildly painful meaning. Certain recipes may call for additional ingredients, like turmeric, jalapeños, or lemon juice. We’ve got one word: ouch.
Blessedly, you get to add some honey before drinking it. You can knock it back like a shot or dilute it a bit to make it more palatable. You can even add it to foods, like soup or salad dressings… which sounds pretty 🔥, actually.
According to avid fire cider sippers, the tonic is like rocket fuel for your immune system and digestive health. They recommend 2 to 3 tablespoons daily, either spread throughout the day or all at once.
Some people take it in the morning to jolt them awake, but others prefer it at night — although there appears to be no real difference in how it works based on when it’s taken. You do you.
