Equipment

  • 64-ounce glass jar with screw-on lid

Ingredients

  • 2 large Onions, rough chopped small with skins left on
  • 2 heads Whole garlic, rough chopped small with skins left on
  • 2 3-4 inch pieces Fresh ginger, rough chopped small with the peel left on
  • 1/2 cup Horseradish, grated This can be fresh grated or from a bottle, but make sure that if you use horseradish from a bottle, the horseradish DOES NOT contain cream.
  • 1 tsp. Cayenne pepper You can use the ground cayenne pepper or the flakes.
  • Raw apple cider vinegar, to cover

Instructions

  • Place all ingredients, except vinegar, in a large jar, preferably a 64-ounce wide-mouth jar.
  • Add vinegar to the jar to cover all the ingredients and leave approximately a 1-2 inch headspace at the top of the jar.
  • Screw the lid onto the jar, and place the jar in a warm place in your kitchen out of direct sunlight.
  • Each day for the next four weeks, give the jar a shake by inverting it and then setting it back to its right side up position. Make sure that the jar lid is on securely before doing this.
  • After four weeks have passed, strain out the solids and decant the liquid into a clean bottle with a screw-top lid. You should refrigerate your Fire Cider Tonic, and it should last for up to one year.
  • To take this as a tonic, you will take 1-2 ounces straight or take the same amount mixed in warm water with a bit of honey, if you want.
