Fire Cider Immune Tonic
This immune boosting herbal tonic can help with congestion from cold and flu. It is a great way to kick start your day and immune system and get digestive juices going.
- 1/2 cup chopped horseradish
- 1/2 cup fresh chopped and peeled ginger
- 1 medium white onion (chopped)
- 2 jalapeno (finely chopped)
- 1/4 cup local raw honey
- 1 rosemary sprig (leaves finely chopped)
- 1 tablespoon powdered turmeric
- 16 ounces apple cider vinegar with mother
Place chopped ingredients at bottom of quart-sized jar and pour apple cider vinegar over top. Add powdered turmeric. Put the lid on and shake. Use a plastic lid. If you don't have one you can use parchment paper under the lid to keep the vinegar from touching the metal. You can also use a fermenting lid or pickle pipe. Let sit for 2-4 weeks shaking the jar occasionally. You may need to occasionally burp the jar and release the gases. After the time is up you can strain off the liquid and add honey. Rebottle and enjoy! Fire Cider is shelf-stable but you can also refrigerate.
