Hi there! Have any of you experimented with fire cider? I love Rosemary Gladstar's recipe and am making some in anticipation of winter weather. Do you have any preferences when making it? Thanks in advance! Nina

Hey!! Yes! - I always add my honey after and just infuse in vinegar and sweeten to taste - Use a food processor grating wheel to break up horseradish and hard roots , saves a lot of time and energy - I like to add yummy herbs that are also respiratory supportive or nutritive for their added mineral content - nettle, mugwort, rosemary, thyme, sage, mullein, etc to name a few - line your lid with parchment or unbleached wax paper to prevent corrosion - taste your hot peppers first if adding to make sure they are actually spicy, I’ve found many commercially grown organic peppers have no heat to them - love turmeric in a fire cider - you can also add elderberries and it gives it a really pretty purple/pink hue. Have fun!!

Kimberly! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I really appreciate your input! What a good idea to add the honey later. And I have some cooked elderberries on the stove so I can add it in to my already made Fire Cider experiment. There is something about the medicine making that where we are able to add in beauty (like the purple/pink) just makes us feel better also! Great ideas! Nina
