Step 1

Place the ginger root, horseradish root, onion, garlic, jalapenos, rosemary, and turmeric into a quart-sized mason jar. Add the citrus zest and juice.

Step 2

Fill the jar with the apple cider vinegar.

Step 3

Cover the jar with a plastic lid, or use a piece of parchment or wax paper to keep the vinegar from touching the metal lid. Shake well, then place in a dark and cool place for one month. Try to remember to shake your fire cider daily.

Step 4

After one month, strain the fire cider through cheesecloth into a clean jar. While straining, squeeze out as much of the liquid as you can.

Step 5

Add 1/4 cup of honey and stir well until thoroughly incorporated. Taste your cider and add up to another 1/4 cup of honey if you feel it’s needed. Drink a tablespoon fire cider (or more!) each day.
