How to Make Fire Cider Remedy For Cold Flu

  1. Gently heat 2 cups apple cider vinegar in a glass or stainless steel saucepan over low heat until warm (do not boil).
  2. In a clean, 1-quart glass jar, combine the following ingredients:
  3. 1 cup coarsely grated fresh horseradish root
  4. 1/2 cup thinly sliced yellow onion
  5. 1/2 cup minced garlic cloves
  6. 1/4 cup grated fresh turmeric root (or 2 tablespoons turmeric powder)
  7. 1-2 teaspoons cayenne pepper (adjust to your spice preference)
  8. Pour the warmed apple cider vinegar over the ingredients in the jar, leaving about 1 inch of headspace.
  9. Securely cap the jar with an acid-proof lid.
  10. Store the jar in a warm, dark place for 3-4 weeks.
  11. Shake the jar gently a few times per week to distribute the ingredients.
  12. After 3-4 weeks, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean bowl.
  13. Add honey to taste (start with 1/4 cup and adjust).
  14. Rebottle the Fire Cider in a clean glass bottle and refrigerate.
  15. At the first sign of a cold or flu, take 1-2 tablespoons every 2-3 hours as needed until symptoms subside.
