What makes Fire Cider special?
The Key ingredients:
Raw Apple Cider Vinegar: Contains positive friendly strains of bacteria. This is considered a natural probiotic and gut cleanser. We use Raw Apple Cider Vinegar (with the mother) in salad dressings, soup recipes, a bath soak and morning elixirs.
Apple cider vinegar improves insulin sensitivity by over 30%, meaning it helps with blood glucose levels.
Use 16 oz. of Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar.
White Onion: 1/2 diced white onion. White onion is a bacteria magnet (raw is best).
Jalapeno: Use 1 whole jalapeño diced. Considered to kill bad bugs and increases circulation.
Garlic: 1/4 cup crushed garlic cloves. Anti-viral and Anti-bacterial. Great for cold and flu season.
Ginger: 1/2 cup diced and peeled ginger. Antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and gets your hydrochloric acid going (preparing your digestive system to break down food and cause the release of digestive enzymes). Helps with absorption and assimilation of nutrients.
Turmeric: 1/2 cup peeled and diced. Slashes cellular inflammation.
Horseradish: 3/4 c. peeled and shredded horseradish root. Regulates fluid between our cell membrane which is part of a well functioning immune system. Killing bad bacteria , bringing in good bacteria and slashing inflammation.
Lemon: Use 2 organic lemons, juiced and use the lemon peel to zest.
Manuka Honey: 1 teaspoon to taste. Use this once your recipe is ready to be consumed. Contains bio-active enzymes and anti-bacterial.
Take all the ingredients listed above and mash all ingredients together in a glass mason jar. Top off with Raw Apple Cider Vinegar. This is similar to making Kombucha. *Use a wooden spoon or muddle.
Let this concoction sit on your counter for two weeks minimum for nutrient density benefits. You can keep it on your counter for 2-4 weeks. Once strained, place mason jar with clean liquid and refrigerate.
Start off by taking 1 TBSP daily and work up to 3 TBSP mixed with 6 oz. of water.
For the busy person and not to fuss with this recipe person you can purchase Fire Cider on Amazon. This is the brand I have tried and trust. The only difference is, it does not contain lemon nor manuka honey. It contains, oranges and regular honey.
