Instructions
Take a clean, quart-sized Mason jar and place all of your chopped ingredients inside.
Pour apple cider vinegar over the contents until completely submerged (you can get added benefits by using your own homemade apple cider vinegar, too!).
Use a weight, if needed, to keep the contents under the vinegar, then place an airtight lid on the jar and shake.
Place in a cool dark location to steep for two to four weeks. Shake daily.
Strain out solids, then stir in 1/4 cup honey to the liquid.
Take as suggested in the notes section below.
Notes
Take fire cider as needed. A typical serving is 1.5 ounces (one shot) up to three times daily.
If your fire cider is too spicy, you can increase the amount of honey added at the end.
You can also dilute the fire cider into 8 ounces of water.
Nutrition facts are impossible to calculate due to the fact most of the ingredients get strained out. The above calculations include the apple cider vinegar and honey only.
Feel free to swap out ingredients, omit ingredients, and change up amounts to make this your own.
Remember to do your due diligence on researching each herb or item for any precautions or interactions when using it medicinally.
