Prep Time: 20 mins     |    Set Time: 3-6 weeks                    

Total Servings: 20 servings or more (1-2 tbsp is one serving)

Ingredients

½ cup horseradish, peeled and diced (~4-5”)

½ cup garlic, peeled and diced (2 bulbs)

½ onion, peeled and diced, (~1 small)

¼ garlic, peeled and diced (~2-3”)

¼ turmeric, peeled and diced (~2-3”)

1 habanero chile, split in half or thinly sliced (for a milder flavor, use 2 jalapeños)

1 orange, quartered and thinly sliced crosswise

1 lemon, use the zest and juice

¼ tsp cayenne pepper

½ cup parsley, chopped (fresh)

2 tbsp rosemary, chopped (fresh)

2 tbsp thyme, chopped (fresh)

1 tsp black peppercorns

2-3 cups raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar

¼ cup raw honey, to taste (this is added after the Fire Cider has sat for 3-6 weeks)

Instructions

1. Place all herbs, vegetables, and fruit into a clear 1-quarter jar. Pack down as needed to fit all ingredients in the jar. Add vinegar, and cover all ingredients. Make sure there are no air bubbles. If using a metal lid, place a piece of parchment paper between the liquid and the lid to prevent corrosion. Shake well.

2. Let the jar sit in a cool, dark place for 3-6 weeks, shaking it daily (or as often as you remember).

3. Using a cheesecloth or strainer, strain the vinegar into a clear glass jar.

4. Add the honey, stirring well. Adjust to your taste.

5. Store in the refrigerator for up to a year.

6. Drink 1-2 tbsp daily, or place 2 tbsp into a small 2oz bottle and add water to slightly dilute it. Drink daily as needed.
