Boost Your Immunity

Fire cider is packed with antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal properties. Take it daily as a preventive and also at the onset of a cold or flu. It can help stimulate sweating and move toxins out of the body. Its expectorant qualities help break up congestion and keep airways clear. Add more honey to make it syrupy, and it becomes a potent cough soother.

101 Recipes for Making and Using

The versatility of this beloved remedy shines in fire cider varieties ranging from Elderberry to Thai Red Curry, from Celtic Cold Brew to Costa Rica Fire Cider made with pineapple vinegar. Take your daily dose straight from the glass or use it to dress your salad, season your stir-fry, or spice up your chili.
