Fire cider is an herbal concoction that steeps for weeks and emerges tangy and hot.

Humans have made strong brews with natural ingredients to combat illness for generations. The actual term "fire cider" is widely attributed to herbalist Rosemary Gladstar. Rosemary has been touting the health benefits of fire cider for more than 30 years. In her 1999 book, Rosemary Gladstar's Herbs for the Home Medicine Chest, she recommends making a batch of fire cider as soon as cold and flu season hits. 

What is Fire Cider? 

At the most basic level, Fire Cider is a spicy blend of apple cider vinegar, onion, ginger, horseradish, garlic, and other immune-boosting herbs. But there are dozens of concoctions. In fact, Rosemary has published a book of 101 Fire Cider Recipes. So if this tonic tantalizes your taste-buds, then you might expand your palate with 100 more options.
