Print Recipe

A spicy, tangy fire cider tonic made with fresh garlic, ginger, horseradish, turmeric, and apple cider vinegar, designed to boost immunity naturally during cold and flu season.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (475 ml) raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar (preferably Bragg’s)
  • 10 garlic cloves, peeled and roughly chopped
  • 1/4 cup (30 g) fresh ginger root, peeled and grated
  • 2 tablespoons (15 g) horseradish root, peeled and grated
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons (15 g) fresh turmeric root, peeled and grated
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 cup (85 g) raw honey
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) water (optional)

Instructions

  1. Peel and roughly chop the garlic cloves and onion. Peel and grate the fresh ginger, horseradish, and turmeric roots using a microplane or fine grater. This should take about 10 minutes.
  2. Place all the chopped and grated ingredients in your quart-size glass jar. Add the cayenne pepper and pour in the apple cider vinegar, making sure everything is fully submerged. If you prefer a milder tonic, you can add the optional water now. Use a wooden spoon to mix gently.
  3. Cover the jar tightly and store it in a cool, dark place for 3 to 4 weeks. Give the jar a gentle shake every few days to keep things mixed and help the flavors marry.
  4. After the steeping period, strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a clean jar or bottle. Press or squeeze to extract as much liquid as possible without forcing pulp through.
  5. Stir in the raw honey until fully dissolved. Taste and adjust honey or cayenne if you want it sweeter or spicier.
  6. Keep your fire cider tonic refrigerated. It will stay good for up to 6 months. Take a tablespoon daily or whenever you feel your immune system needs a boost.

Notes

Use fresh, organic ingredients for best flavor and potency. Shake gently every few days during steeping. Avoid metal lids touching vinegar directly to prevent corrosion. Adjust cayenne pepper to heat tolerance. Add honey after straining to avoid clumping. Store refrigerated and consume within 6 months. For vegan version, substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
