Fire Cider Mocktail

the elixir of all elixirs - happy halloween! 🎃

BOO! 👻 i know i don’t usually slide into your inbox on a thursday morning, but it’s a holiday so i wanted to celebrate by sharing a lil recipe because everyone and their mom is getting sick and i just won’t stand for it!!

let’s just get this part out of the way: this recipe takes a month. BUT WAIT. it’s so easy and so worth it.

i am not letting any of you fall prey to sick szn on my watch, so today i’m teaching you how to make a fire cider. it’s an herbal remedy of apple cider vinegar, herbs, spices and heat creating vegetables that’s used to support the immune system. and it’s absolutely delicious, plus, takes like 10 minutes to put together. then you just have to stick it in the back of your pantry, shake it once a week, and wait like 30 days until it’s ready.

i LOVE sipping on it throughout the day as a warm mocktail. it tastes healing and is surprisingly really, really delicious. if you feel a cold coming on, drink it. if you’re already sick, drink it. if you’re kinda chilly and want to warm up, drink. it. the options are endless!

i also like to call it my “Stupid Ass Garlic Tonic” (that actually really works???)

the special thing about this recipe too, versus fermented garlic, is that there is a very very very low risk of botulism because the high acidity of raw apple cider vinegar (ACV) prevents the growth of the bacteria that causes botulism (but, as always, with stuff like this, if you’re pregnant or breastfeeding etc. please consult a medical professional before trying) —i tried fermenting garlic last year for sick season and got too afraid to eat it after hearing it could potentially kill me which was a huge waste of honey and got me annoyed, lol. moving onto bigger and better things! Fire Cider is safe as long as you use the right ingredients!
