Warming • Circulating • Seasonal Support
Make your own medicine this season. Our Fire Cider Starter Pack holds the dried herbs and spices for a traditional fire cider, measured and ready for you to bring to life in your own kitchen. Fire cider is a folk remedy passed hand to hand for generations, traditionally sipped through the colder months to support circulation, digestion and a resilient season.
What's inside
- Dried ginger root
- Thyme
- Black peppercorns
- Allspice berries
- Cayenne
Each pack makes about one quart.
What you'll add at home
Fresh onion, garlic and citrus, horseradish if you like, raw apple cider vinegar to cover, and honey to taste once it's strained.
How to make it
Add the pack to a clean quart jar with your fresh ingredients. Cover completely with apple cider vinegar, cap with a plastic lid or parchment under a metal lid, and shake. Let it steep in a cool, dark place for 3 to 4 weeks, shaking every day or two. Strain, stir in honey to taste, and store in the refrigerator.
How to enjoy
Take a spoonful straight, stir it into warm water or tea, or splash it into soups, greens and salad dressings.
Fire cider is strong and spicy. If you are pregnant or nursing, take blood thinners, or live with reflux or ulcers, check with your care provider first. This is a traditional food remedy and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.
