Recipe
Jalapeno Lime Fire Cider: 1 quart
½ cup organic onions chopped - with skin
½ cup organic (if can) horseradish chopped
¼ cup organic ginger chopped
¼ cup organic garlic chopped - with skin
½ -1 whole jalapeno (seeds are spicier, so you can remove some)
1 whole organic Lime (juiced and chop up peels)
Local Raw Honey to taste
Be creative:
Turmeric, Rosemary, Thyme, Hibiscus, Orange, Lemon, Tangerine, Elderberry, Cinnamon, Cilantro, Pomegranate, and any kind of peppers that float your boat!
Place herbs in a quart canning jar and cover with enough raw unpasteurized apple cider vinegar to cover the herbs by at least three to four inches. Cover tightly with a tight-fitting plastic lid.
Place the jar in a warm place and let it sit for three to four weeks. Best to shake every day to help in the maceration process.
After three to four weeks, strain out the herbs, and reserve the liquid.
Add good local raw honey to taste. Typically I add 1/4-1/2 cup
Bottle and label with ingredients and date! Store in fridge and enjoy as a daily tonic, in salad dressings or other recipes that call for vinegar.
Dosage: A small shot glass with water daily serves as an excellent tonic or take teaspoons if you feel a cold coming on. Can be taken frequently at the onset of sickness
