Homemade Fire Cider

Step 1

Prepare your roots, fruits, and herbs and place them in a quart-sized glass jar. If you've never grated fresh horseradish, be prepared for a powerful sinus-opening experience!

Step 2

Pour the apple cider vinegar in the jar until all of the ingredients are covered and the vinegar reaches the jar's top.

Step 3

Use a piece of natural parchment paper under the lid to keep the vinegar from touching the metal, or a plastic lid if you have one. Shake well.

Step 4

Store in a dark, cool place for a month and remember to shake daily.

Step 5

After one month, use cheesecloth to strain out the pulp, pouring the vinegar into a clean jar. Be sure to squeeze as much of the liquidy goodness as you can from the pulp while straining.

Step 6

Next comes the honey. Add and stir until incorporated.

Step 7

Taste your cider and add more honey until you reach the desired sweetness.
