Make Your Own: Fire Cider

This folk tradition is a tasty tonic made by infusing apple cider vinegar with fresh herbs and spices to create a slightly hot, antioxidant-rich digestive stimulant. Reputed to be both immune-supporting and stimulating to circulation, a spoonful a day is used to help ward off colds and such in the winter months. The Farmer’s Almanac calls fire cider a “potent tonic” and “the modern reincarnation of a home remedy used for generations to help ward off winter colds, flu cases, and other infirmities. While fire cider is more of a folk remedy, several studies have shown that the tonic helps the body balance blood sugar levels and reduce inflammation. There have also been studies demonstrating cider vinegar’s ability to fight infections.”
