First try at Fire Cider

I've never made this before, but thought I would give it a try.  I didn't have horseradish, so I ordered some.  When it gets here in a couple days, it will be added.  Currently, the recipe has garlic, onions, habanero peppers, orange, lemon, turmeric, ginger, apple cider vinegar.  It looks and smells good, but very hot.  I hope I can drink it, since I made a lot :)  Guess I'll know in a month, although chances of me waiting that long until I try it = 0.

Ok Trace, what's the story on fire cider?  Is this a health cocktail? Looks tasty.

It's supposed to be.  I'm skeptical about things that are purported to have magical healing powers, but considering the ingredients, this should be a very healthy thing to drink, regardless of whether it wards off coronavirus, vampires, or the walking dead.  Fire cider has long been a traditional health drink and I can't see any drawbacks.

Please post the link to the recipe you used...

Throw in a Tbsp of olive oil and it would make a good dressing.  Or just eat the veggies right out of there.

Reminds me of another tasty treat: PICKLED JALAPENOS AND CARROTS

Diane, I got it from foodiewithfamily, found here: Fire Cider recipe

Since it's on a website for public use, and I gave credit to the site, I would think it's okay to post it.

I made my first batch of fire cider in November of 2020.  I used the Bastyr recipe (basically) and just found this one at Medicinal Herbs.  

My sister and I both experience chest tightness and asthma and my sister would get put on steroids every winter.  Since making our first batch, she has not even gone to the doctor for illness once and has only gotten a cold once in almost three years.
