Ingredients

Fire Cider

  • 5-6 Cups Raw Apple Cider Vinegar like Bragg's
  • 2 Lemons
  • 4 Clementines or Tangerines
  • 1 Lime
  • 2 Inches Fresh Ginger
  • 2 Inches Fresh Turmeric
  • 6 Cloves Garlic
  • 2 Hot, Spicy Peppers like jalapeños or serranos
  • 3/4 Cup Cranberries
  • 3/4 Cup Carrots
  • 2 Sprigs Rosemary

More Optional Ingredients

  • 2 Inches Horseradish
  • 1 Whole Onion peeled and sliced

Instructions

  • Begin by washing your produce VERY well. Rinse thoroughly and dry before using.
  • Cut your citrus into slices, being sure to remove any seeds. Add to the jar.
  • Cut the ginger and turmeric into thin slices, and add to the jar.
  • Peel the garlic cloves and smash them with the flat side of your knife. Add them to the jar.
  • Cut up the spicy peppers into slices, and add to the jar. Remove the seeds, if desired, for a less spicy fire cider. Keep them in if you like spice.
  • Add in the cranberries, carrots, rosemary, and any other herbs you'd like to use.
  • Pour apple cider vinegar on top of the mixture, making sure everything is covered, then place a weight on top of the solids to keep them submerged.
  • Place the jar in a cool, dry place for 3-4 weeks. After the time has passed, strain and funnel the fire cider into a new, clean jar. The fire cider can be stored in a cool, dark pantry for up to 1 year, or in the refrigerator for a year and a half.
  • Take 1-2 tbsp of the fire cider daily, either straight or mixed into water or tea. Enjoy in good health! :)

Notes

  • The recipe yield on this may be different than yours, depending on how much you stuff the jar full of infusers (i.e. the lemons, cranberries, etc.). 
  • Fire cider traditionally contains horseradish, but since it can be hard to find, I opted for ginger and turmeric in my recipe.
  • Cranberries are an untraditional ingredient, but are a great source of Vitamin C and antioxidants.
