Fire Cider is revered by herbalists for its ability to support the immune system and shorten the duration of cold and flu symptoms if they occur. It’s an apple cider vinegar infusion that contains powerful immune-boosting, anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, anti-viral, decongestant, and spicy circulatory movers that make it especially pleasant and easy to incorporate into your daily diet to help boost the immune system, stimulate digestion, and get you nice and warmed up on cold days.Our fire cider elixir starts with a base of raw, certified organic apple cider vinegar, which has long been used to extract the beneficial properties of vegetables, fruits, herbs, and spices. We then add whole, raw, organic ginger, horseradish, onions, black pepper, garlic, smoked ghost chilies, jalapeño and habañero peppers for heat, turmeric for a bit of zing, a few other herbs/spices, lemons, limes and oranges for a pop of bright citrus.We let the mixture steep at room temperature 4 months (no heat involved, which preserves the living vinegar culture and allows the flavors to develop). As a final step, we blend in local, raw, organic wildflower honey. The result is an elixir that’s potent but balanced, with distinctive layers of sweet, tart, and a hint of heat.Fire Cider is shelf stable at room temperature and has an 18-month best-buy date.
