☕️ Coffee Break Live with Dr La Tina~ Easy Fire Cider Recipe (recipe in the comments)
Coffee Break Live ☕️
Today we make Fire Cider - Can last in the fridge for up to two years but can stay on the counter for months.
❤️Store your brewing cider in a slightly cool (65-70 F is ideal) place for a minimum four weeks. Traditionally, this jar was buried in the ground in order to keep the temperature stable and also allow the different electrical charges of the earth work it's magic.
“Because this is a folk preparation, the ingredients can change from year to year depending on when you make it and what's growing around you. The standard base ingredients are apple cider vinegar, garlic, onion, ginger, horseradish, and hot peppers, but there are plenty of other herbs that can be thrown in for added kick.
Fire cider can be taken straight by the spoonful, added to organic veggie juice (throw in some olives and pickles for a non-alcoholic, healthy bloody mary!), splashed in fried rice, or drizzled on a salad with good olive oil. You can also save the strained pulp and mix it with shredded veggies like carrots, cabbage, broccoli, and fresh herbs to make delicious and aromatic stir-fries and spring rolls.” - Mountain Rose

❤️Health Benefits:
“Ginger: Has a wonderful warming effect on the body, which causes us to sweat and expel toxins. Ginger is also known to soothe the gastrointestinal tract. Ginger enhances blood flow…and can even thin the blood, so talk with your doctor if you are already on a blood thinner.
Horseradish: Ever eaten a spoonful of wasabi paste on a dare? Yeah me neither….why would anyone do that! Ahem. If you had, you would know the sensation of instant sinus shock, they clear up immediately. That’s why it’s in this tonic. Bu-bye stuffy nose…..right now!
Onions: Onions are a rich source of the antioxidant Quercitin, which is anti-inflammatory, antibiotic, antiviral, thought to have diverse anti-cancer powers.
Garlic: Natures antibiotic, anti-viral, and anti-fungal! It can also enhance blood flow…and can even thin the blood, so talk with your doctor if you are already on a blood thinner.
Jalapeños: The active ingredient in peppers (capsaicin) is a well-known pain reliever. Peppers are also anti-inflammatory. So, in effect its like putting a little ibuprofen in the tonic….only its not ibuprofen, its peppers. Save your stomach from the NSAID stomach rot! They actually help your digestion too. Winning!
Apple Cider Vinegar: Unless you have been living under a rock, you may have heard of the many, many, many uses and benefits of apple cider vinegar. Well, aside from being a great furniture polish and hair rinse, it also helps your body eliminate toxins. Plus, it helps strengthen the immune system, promotes digestion, and relieves sore throats, colds, and sinus infections.”
✳️ Contraindications: Sensitive stomachs, monitor accordingly if you are on blood thinners.
