How To Make Fire Cider: A Homemade Natural Cold Remedy

Somethings I never thought I needed Somethings I never thought I'd have As if they are too hard to believe in The moment I ever called them mine I knew exactly where I was coming I knew exactly what to say There will be nothing to get over If I just let it slip away So I guess I'm right Yet another close call from my eyes Um, you just want to make sure that you have a clean organic Garlic do not buy and use garlic that has been pre-pilled. I know that's tempting you guys, but Just don't do it you lightly smashed And then so we're just going to pile these right on top in here on top of our onion Next we're going to add in some turmeric and sliced ginger Um, I cleaned the outside already. So i'm just going to slice mine very thinly another ingredient you would typically add to a fire cider is going to be a horseradish and I For me, it's really important that we have really good clean organic ingredients A lot of the stuff I got from azure i'll link that below. Um, and i'm also Trying my hand at growing garlic and turmeric for the first time. I'm, sorry, not garlic ginger and turmeric as well as garlic Uh for the first time this year, so we're just going to thinly slice these Otherwise you could use a spoon and peel them off. But again, we're going to strain this out eventually Um, so i'll probably just do about half a cup of each When you slice ginger, it just smells so so good and you don't have to make your Jar look super pretty or anything like that, but mine's going to sit on the counter been on my youtube channel For a little bit because I had a baby. She's two months and then of course our third um baby for her Just turned a year before we had her so we've had our hands full Between all four kids and being in different seasons and whatnot this is the Turmeric so Um, if you didn't have this I could probably use a powdered ginger Or a powdered turmeric if you didn't have the fresh. Um and turmeric is very anti-inflammatory It's very good for you for so many reasons So we're just going to also I just kind of want to see the ingredients I think So we'll make sure some gets to the edges here. I am going to Between my one month or my one year old and my two month old. Um, I just don't want one of them to meet me Uh right now dad has them. So hopefully they won't Um, but you know if I need to nurse or something, I don't want to have the jalapeno right on my hands So i'm just going to go ahead and i'm going to use two Um, you can use a mix of different hot peppers totally up to you and I can tell already those are hot You can deseed you can slice it not deseed Um, i'm just going to go ahead and slice mine real quick Again i'm just going to try to get some on the outside I'm also going to go ahead and add about a cup of organic cranberries. What I did was I bought again on azure It's just easier to get everything almost everything from one place Um, a lot of this can come from your garden as well If you still have these things in season when I had gotten an organic frozen bag And then we add that on top I'm going to do an orange and two lemons because my lemons are are pretty small And i'm going to save a slice of my orange for the top as well, so just slices And as you can imagine the orange and the cranberry Together they're beautiful. They taste delicious. They are so pretty A few items we have left are going to be peppercorn and elderberry, um some cinnamon sticks and some herbs with the elderberry i'm going to do about a tablespoon and a half Um and peppercorns i'll do a little less than a tablespoon The cinnamon sticks way down in there I'm going to push these all the way down just to make sure that when I pour these things over it's all inside Now what i'm going to use is rosemary and thyme I think that'll go nicely in this concoction. Okay, mine is Um being split between two so i'm gonna go with oh, maybe this much of the Herbs i'm just gonna split it right in half So i'm not too worried about it you just want everything to be covered which is why on top i'm gonna put this orange And another top of a lemon and just kind of make sure Kind of weigh it down a little bit for your apple cider vinegar you want Um something that is organic raw unprocessed unfiltered um unpasteurized And this is going to be poured right over the top Literally just gonna let it sit in there and fill up Look how pretty that is. Let's see if I can get you guys close it up It looks so beautiful You're gonna just put your lid on top. You're gonna put some more dark and cool. Let it sit for at least a month um, preferably two um, and then You'll see everything kind of mixed together and just shake it a little every day to make sure everything stays nice And covered and maybe break out some of those garlic and things like that when you shake it and Then after a month you strain it and so i'll do that in another video But for now, this is our finished product. It is beautiful.
