Immunity-Boosting Superfood Fire Cider Tonic

By Evelyn

This fire cider tonic recipe is super easy to make ahead of time and it lasts forever in the fridge. I usually like to make it in batches to keep some on hand all the time because it’s so good for your immune system and always helps me when I get a cold or need a boost. Here’s how to make it.

How to Make a Fire Cider Tonic

  • Peel and chop your ingredients. Peel and chop the horseradish root, turmeric roots, and fresh ginger. Make sure to remove the tough peels as best as you can. Tip: use the edge of the spoon for those hard to reach areas.
  • Prepare the rest of the ingredients. Chop the chili pepper (use gloves for this to avoid any discomfort). Juice and zest the organic lemon. Peel and quarter the onion before finally peeling the garlic head cloves.
  • Combine the ingredients. Add the horseradish, turmeric, ginger, chili pepper, onion, garlic, lemon zest, and lemon juice to a food processor and pulse until the mixture is chopped.
  • Combine with the apple cider vinegar. Transfer the mixture to a jar and add the raw apple cider vinegar. Stir to combine and then cover with a lid. Store the jar in a dark, cool place for a minimum of one month and make sure to shake it daily.
  • Strain. Strain the mixture using either a layered cheesecloth or fine mesh sieve.
  • Finish it off. Add the raw honey and stir to combine.
  • Serve. Serve immediately.
