Enough raw unpasturized apple cider vinegar to cover
½cupraw honeyor to taste
Instructions
Roughly chop all ingredients and add them to the jar.
Add enough apple cider vinegar to fill the jar to the very top, making sure everything is covered by at least an inch or so of vinegar.*
Cover with a plastic lid or place a piece of parchment paper under the lid to keep the vinegar from touching metal (it will corrode it). Secure lid tightly and shake the jar well.
Store in a cool, dark spot for 4 weeks, shaking regularly.
When ready, strain the fire cider through several layers of cheesecloth into a clean jar, squeezing out as much of the liquid as possible.
Add honey, tasting as you go, until you’re happy with the balance.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 6 months.
To Use:
Enjoy a tablespoon daily to support your immune and digestive systems.
Use in your cooking wherever a flavor-packed vinegar would be nice (salad dressings, for instance).
When you feel a cold coming on or start to feel congested, take by the teaspoon often (every hour or so) to help bolster your immune system and clear your sinuses.
Notes
*Note: I got a bit overzealous when filling my jar and had to use a glass weight to keep everything submerged in the vinegar.
