Congratulate yourself and enjoy the process of creating your Fire Cider, infusing the mixture with your love and well wishes.

List of Ingredients From Many Sources (but mostly @ancestorsleaves who inspired me to make this medicine come to Life):
-Horseradish Root (I actually found this at a basic Safeway!)

-Ginger Root

-Turmeric Root

-Onion

-Fresh Garlic

-Herbs ( can be dried, fresh, whole or chopped e.g. Parsley,Thyme, Rosemary, I used mint, we'll see how that goes..., star anise, clove etc.)

-Sliced Citrus Fruit (Lemons, Oranges, Nectarine, Limon)

-Hot Pepper (e.g. Jalapeños, Habaneros, Serrano, Thai Chile)

-Daikon Radish (this wanted to be in my mix)

-Dried fruit

-Unfiltered, raw apple cider vinegar with "The Mother"

I used a mix of processes but mostly the two below:
The Process From @ancestorsleaves🍃Clean, chop, and toss everything into a clean mason jar. Pour Raw Unfiltered Apple Cider Vinegar over herbs and allow to infuse 4+weeks. You can strain off herbs or keep to make a stronger medicine. Mix with raw honey and enjoy by Taking 1-2tbsp at first sign of cold or take a daily shot.

The Process From River Valley Co-Op:
Cover with apple cider vinegar by about two inches. Use a piece of natural parchment paper or wax paper under the lid to keep the vinegar from touching the metal. Shake well. Store in a dark, cool place for one month and shake daily.

After one month, use cheesecloth to strain out the pulp, pouring the vinegar into a clean jar. Be sure to squeeze as much of the liquid goodness as you can from the pulp while straining. Add ¼ cup of honey and stir until incorporated. Taste your cider and add another ¼ cup until you reach desired sweetness. Fire cider should taste hot, spicy and sweet. It is great as a winter time tonic and as a remedy for colds and coughs. Often people use it as salad dressing, on rice, or with steamed vegetables.

The Obligatory Recipe Blog Post Chit-Chat:

Ancient, Ancestral, Affordable, Universal Healthcare right here. I've been seeing Fire Cider pop up here and there, a sure sign to pay attention and lean in.

Wow, I actually saw something and MADE it. Felt pretty proud, haha, that's where I'm at these days. Making this medicine was a win on a lot of levels. Been feeling lethargic and hibernatie, I hate to blame the low, gray Seattle skies but, damn man, these low gray Seattle skies make it that much harder to motivate into action when I start to feel the throbbing mental and physical pain of INACTION. #wintervibes.

So yea, this is a fun, easyish one (the hardest part is grocery shopping!). It didn't take much time and creating the layers really massaged/perked up my creative side. Making things feels good....
Noted.

My only regret is that I didn't buy triple the ingredients and make more!

Can't tell if this would be the perfect gift for everyone or just me.....?
