My Version of Rosemary Gladstar's Fire Cider SPICY, Adding Raw Honey 🍯 Herbs, Garlic, Onions, Ginger

Ingredients

• 5 cups Apple Cider Vinegar (raw, unfiltered, already infused with vegetables)
• 2.5 cups Raw Honey (lightly heated to blend)
• 1 medium Red Onion (thinly sliced)
• 4 pieces Garlic Cloves (peeled and lightly crushed)
• 3 pieces Hot Peppers (e.g., jalapeño or serrano, sliced)
• 2 inches Fresh Ginger (peeled and sliced)
• 2 inches Fresh Turmeric (peeled and sliced)
• 1 cup Water (to dilute vegetables before final pickling)

Instructions

1. Measure the infused vinegar liquid

   Pour the fermented apple cider vinegar mixture into a measuring cup until you have about 5 cups, then set the liquid aside in a clean bowl.

   Time: PT5M

2. Separate vegetables from the liquid

   Place a fine mesh strainer over a bowl and pour the mixture through it, catching the onions, garlic, peppers, ginger, and turmeric in the strainer.

   Time: PT2M

3. Create pickled spicy vegetables

   Return the strained vegetables to the clean jar. Add 1 cup of water to the jar, then fill the remainder with fresh raw apple cider vinegar, stirring to combine. Seal and refrigerate.

   Time: PT5M

4. Warm the honey

   Place 2½ cups of raw honey in a saucepan over low heat. Warm gently, stirring occasionally, just until it becomes pourable (do not boil).

   Time: PT5M

   Temperature: Low heat

5. Combine honey with vinegar liquid

   Pour the warmed honey into the bowl containing the measured 5 cups of infused vinegar. Stir thoroughly until the honey fully dissolves, creating a uniform tonic.

   Time: PT3M

6. Bottle the hot winter tonic

   Using a funnel, transfer the honey‑vinegar tonic into the amber bottle, filling it almost to the top. Seal tightly.

   Time: PT2M

7. Store and serve

   Store the bottle in the refrigerator or a cool cabinet. Take a spoonful (≈15 ml) daily, or drizzle over salads as desired.

   Time: PT0M
