Fire cider is an old folk remedy for the cold and flu that starts with raw organic apple cider vinegar. It’s sour, hot, tart and sweet. It’s been used to stave off colds and flu and help alleviate symptoms when you come down with them. Take a tablespoon a day to help ward off the nasties or more to reduce symptoms when you’re ill.
Our fire cider is a little more unique than the average recipes. We steep it a minimum of 5 weeks plus add 4-6 times the amount of raw garlic but also add the uniqueness of adding our own black garlic. Black garlic adds a sweetness and earthiness to the cider plus gives 10-100 times the potency of certain anti-oxidants versus regular garlic. We also add echinacea to fight the nasties and to boot, we also add elderberry syrup for more immune enhancing qualities.
They say, a tablespoon a day keeps the nasties away. Take it straight or add it to your favorite juices, salad dressing or to your favorite cocktail. Mine is a BGFCBM…..Black Garlic Fire Cider Bloody Mary
