Homemade Fire Cider Recipe

  • Total Time: 3–4 weeks (steeping)
  • Yield: 3 cups 1x
  • Diet: Vegan

Description

A centuries-old immune-boosting wellness tonic made with horseradish, garlic, ginger, hot peppers, citrus peel, turmeric, and raw apple cider vinegar. This fire cider recipe is simple to make at home and delivers powerful seasonal support.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated horseradish root
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1/4 cup minced garlic (6–8 cloves)
  • 1/4 cup grated fresh ginger root
  • 1 small hot pepper, chopped (jalapeño, serrano, or cayenne)
  • 1 tsp cayenne powder (optional)
  • 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • Peel of 1 organic lemon or orange
  • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary or thyme
  • 2 tbsp freshly grated turmeric root
  • 2–3 cups raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar (with “the mother”)
  • 2–4 tbsp raw honey (added after straining)

Instructions

  1. Wash and prepare all fresh ingredients. Grate horseradish and ginger, chop onion, garlic, and hot pepper.
  2. Add horseradish, onion, garlic, ginger, pepper, turmeric, citrus peel, and herbs to a quart-size mason jar. Pack gently.
  3. Pour apple cider vinegar over ingredients until fully submerged with 1 inch above. Place parchment between jar and lid to prevent metal corrosion.
  4. Seal and shake vigorously for 30 seconds. Store in a cool, dark place for 3–4 weeks, shaking daily.
  5. After steeping, strain mixture through cheesecloth, pressing solids to extract liquid.
  6. Stir in raw honey to taste. Store finished fire cider in sterilized glass bottles or jars in the refrigerator.

Notes

Always use raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar for maximum probiotic benefits. Shake daily during steeping to increase extraction. Add honey only after straining to preserve enzymes. Store in glass, never metal or plastic.
