Fire cider is a popular herbal remedy for cold and flu season, and this recipe has the added antioxidants of Red Truck Orchards Cherry Vinegar!
Ingredients
- 3 cups Red Truck Orchards Cherry Vinegar
- 1 cup fresh horseradish, grated
- 1 cup fresh ginger, grated
- ¼ cup fresh turmeric, grated
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 10 garlic cloves, crushed
- 1 lemon, sliced
- 1 orange, sliced
- 2-3 jalapeno peppers
- 3 cinnamon sticks
- 3 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 6 sprigs fresh thyme
- 1 tsp black peppercorns
- ½ cup honey
Directions
Add horseradish, ginger, turmeric, jalapenos, onion, orange, lemon, and garlic to a 2qt jar. Then, add the fresh herbs, cinnamon sticks, and peppercorns.
Pour the cherry vinegar into the jar, making sure all the ingredients are fully covered.
Seal the jar. Use a piece of parchment paper under the lid to keep the vinegar from touching the metal, or a plastic lid if you have one.
Shake the jar to combine the ingredients and store the jar in a dark, cool place for up to 4 weeks. Shake the jar daily.
After three to four weeks, use a fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth to strain out the pulp and solid ingredients. Squeeze as much liquid out of the ingredients as you can.
Stir in the honey until it is incorporated. Taste and add more honey to reach your desired sweetness.
Store sealed in an airtight jar. Keep in the refrigerator or in a dry, cool place for up to 6 months. Enjoy 1-2 tablespoons daily!
