🔥 Herbal Academy's Base Fire Cider Recipe - it's a must-have oxymel for cold and flu season!
Fire cider is a great defense against cold and flu pathogens, at the first sign of cold symptoms, and as a decongestant and expectorant when the cold has set in. It also stimulates digestion and helps moves circulation throughout the body! Get creative with this base recipe...
HERBAL ACADEMY'S BASE FIRE CIDER RECIPE
🌶️ 1 large red onion, chopped
🌶️ 3 heads garlic (Allium sativum), chopped
🌶️ 1 organic lemon with peel, diced
🌶️ 1⁄2 cup fresh ginger (Zingiber officinale) root, grated
🌶️ 1⁄2 cup fresh turmeric (Curcuma longa) root, grated
🌶️ 1⁄4 cup fresh horseradish (Armoracia rusticana) root, grated
🌶️ 1⁄4 cup fresh thyme (Thymus vulgaris) aerial parts, chopped
🌶️ 2 teaspoons fresh ground black pepper (Piper nigrum)
🌶️ A few fresh cayenne or jalapeño peppers (depending on how spicy you want your fire cider, you might use more peppers, or omit them altogether—it’s better to err on the side of caution because you can always make it spicier later!)
🌶️ Honey to taste
🌶️ Raw apple cider vinegar
Great fire cider additions we suggest trying include dried elder (Sambucus nigra or S. canadensis) berries, cinnamon sticks (Cinnamomum spp.), echinacea (Echinacea spp.) root, seed, or aerial parts, astragalus (Astragalus membranaceus) root, and even lavender (Lavandula spp.) flower buds.
