Ingredients:

• 1 small onion or ¼ large onion

• 1 lemon

• several cloves garlic

• ¼ cup fresh ginger

• 1 tablespoon black peppercorn

• Dash of cayenne pepper

• Enough Apple Cider Vinegar to cover all ingredients

Other possible additions: fresh herbs like rosemary, thyme, mint

horseradish, jalapeno pepper, turmeric, orange peels, etc.

Instructions:

• Chop all ingredients

• Fill a mason jar

• Add ACV to cover all the ingredients

• Close with a lid, and store in a cool place for at least 3 weeks. Shake it daily

• When ready to strain, use a mesh sieve, strain the solids from the liquid.

• Pour the liquid (that's your Fire Cider!) into an air-tight vessel (like a canning jar) and store it in the fridge- it will keep for many months.

• Traditionally, this drink is used to help get rid of and prevent illness. At the first sign of a cold or flu- take one to two tablespoons twice daily until your symptoms subside. For a consistent immune system boost, take one tablespoon at a time, daily to weekly.

• Adding honey really transforms the flavor from tart and pungent to smooth and slightly sweet.
