Fire Cider Tonic

American herbalist Rosemary Gladstar first presented this remedy for wavering health in the late 1970s. The tonic ingredients can vary depending on what’s available: garlic, onion, citrus, herbs, apple cider vinegar and honey. Fire cider is the easiest to make with a quantity of peeled garlic.

After a few weeks of fermentation it’s ready! Either toss it back like a shot or dilute it with warm water as a hot toddy. It can also be the base of salad dressings. Consider using the leftover solid ingredients for a curry. Although, remove the citrus first.
