Let's be real, this stuff is anything but delicious. It has at least seven layers of flavor that hit you every time you drink it and none of them are fun. But, I still take a tablespoon every day to help keep me healthy and so far it's worked. I started taking this when I had an awful cold and it cleared up in less than 48 hours. Everyone should be taking this stuff.

@@elkewinkler What is the rose mountain recipe....Im making some for corona virus.....Lol😄 I'm being serious tho

[@evalynn1863]

@@elkewinkler I think her technique is better, but I put way more things in mine than she did.

[@evalynn1863]

@@elkewinkler I put slices of lemon and orange, not just zest and juice, as well as opting for fresh ginger root, turmeric, and horseradish. On top of all she adds, I also add black pepper corns, thyme, parsley, and raw honey. So really not too much more lol

[@suzyq6767]

Grating all the hard roots gives a stronger result.

[@debbyd5729]

If you can, use local raw honey. Doing so will help you build your antihistamines to your local pollen. Might cost a couple bucks more than pasteurized mass market honey but it’s worth it!

[@helpfulnatural]

This reminds me of a cocktail party we went to many years ago where the host pulled out a big glass jug he called "snake juice". It was made with vodka and the produce content was pretty well broken down so hard to tell exactly what was in it but there definitely was a dehydrated snake at the bottom of the jug! My husband went for it but thankfully, I was the designated driver.

[@annwithaplan9766]

You forgot to add turmeric and ginger. : ) Many years ago I had the stomach flu. I put 1/4 tsp of cayenne pepper into some water and drank it. 20 minutes later, no more stomach pains!

[@mikepellerin4611]

Can the leftover veg be used for anything? I would think the pickled orange or ginger would be very tasty.

[@teekotrain6845]

Use rhe left over veg. Dry it aall out in an oven or food dehydrator and put it in old spice containers. Spice up lots of dishes with that.

[@missj9458]

For anyone who tries this, please know that fire cider equates to fire breath also

[@kevindecoteau3186]

cinnamon for flavor? I just made some yesterday, Rosemary's recipe. invigorating is putting it mildly. .)

[@kevindecoteau3186]

it's like downing a shot of whiskey. :)

[@trixieknits]

Grating the roots exposes more surface area but it’s nose opening!

hello - after you strain, can you add more vinegar to your cut ingredients and let it soak again for another 3-6 weeks so using the chopped ingredients over and over again?

[@searece]

Oh, wow! My grandmother and I bought some "fire cider" from a local shop a week or so ago. I had some of that this morning because I can feel myself getting sick. This video is so cool for me!

[@pragatiramani7201]

How long can u store it .and how to store it

[@l.a.1254]

In a dark cool place. It will last as long as you keep it cool.

[@jillhbaudhaan]

The start of this video should have been the purpose of this drink.

[@tomsparks6099]

It is holistic. Of course they can't make claims, but fire cider will lower your cholesterol, cure acid reflux, among other things. It's a health tonic.

[@miszBEB0x]

jillhbaudhaan exactly wha I was expecting & she didn’t even touch on it

[@orangemoonglows2692]

meh. i just clicked out of a video because the girl was going on about purpose. so, not everybody wants to listen to that. i wanted the ingredients.

[@NcScbeach1]

Tom Sparks , I’m not sure why, but Apple cider vinegar and regular vinegar give me acid reflux, and I’m not sure why🤷‍♀️. I would think that drinking an acidic vinegar would make reflux worse?

[@anthonyphung7945]

so healthy

[@rachelsbusy9948]

LOVE!! Can't wait to try!

[@aconsideration]

You're funny. I can tell by looking at that 'completed' batch that it didn't sit no 3 to 6 weeks. I've made this before and the ingredients don't look that good after the allotted time.

[@Ryker2608]

All those ingredients...sounds like a natural antibiotic

[@BarbaraJohn92]

Oh it looks really interesting, never heard about this. I'm gonna try.

[@belikethesquirrel6714]

this stuff is amazing. It has been a go to of mine since I learned it years ago. Def try it Barbara :)

[@emeraldsea8754]

I just bought an organic horseradish root and it’s anything but fresh 😢 It’s brownish, and dry, but not moldy or anything. I can’t find any other options. Can it still be safely used?

[@TheEugeneng]

Shira is my healthy spirit animal

[@joinfranknow]

[@Mommylola612]

What are you gonna do with all that marinated veggies? Can we eat it like pickles?

[@teekotrain6845]

Dry them in an oven or food dehydrator and place in old seasoning shakers. Pep up lots of food with that

[@hairrum]

So do you just throw out the remains or can you use them one more time ???

[@JoashNarainsamy]

This looks delish, but what are the health benefits of this?

[@mattforbes7833]

Joash Narainsamy a few vitamins and might clear your sinuses a bit?

[@helpfulnatural]

It will probably scare any flu bugs right out of you! :D

[@evalynn1863]

stayfitandyung.com/2016/04/health-benefits-of-fire-cider/

[@Karmageddonn]

They're probably not allowed to state that this has any "health benefits" due to legal reasonns.

[@reffzz]

I don't think she actually liked the taste

[@marklaurent3116]

Okay, so how long will it last in my fridge? Or should I put it on my fridge?

[@bakinpeach]

The cost of all those ingredients...can’t find horseradish anywhere. Found Fire Cider tonic at wild by nature. Small 8 oz bottle $14.

[@barbarafallin2038]

I found Fire Cider #9 for 8.00 at Home Goods only bottle left

[@katiem1988]

I bought mine yesterday at a organic foods store graded in a glass jar. Couldn't find fresh like this video or all other recipes.

[@livinglife8333]

Leave the jalapeño out if you plan on giving to children, I also add a healthy dose of raw honey. Of course you don’t give to children under a year old.

[@mikerichards6311]

[@averykleon]

Can you use water kefir instead of vinegar? My water kefir overfermented and it is so vinegary.

[@tesspaysattention]

Oh, you should try! Did you? Did it work?

[@michellelcinkel4380]

Can u reuse the Vegais to brew another batch of tonic be a shame to toss out

[@thefartstarver35]

How much do you need to have to detoxify from heavy metals?(I've been taking in several ounces in my morning rejuvelac drink for about a week now, but still want to DIE!)

[@jennobrien3590]

Sounds great. Do you not have to burb it daily ? Is it because of the jar.

[@katherinehaig4660]

This is not a fermenting process, too much acid. There should be no gas if everything is submerged in vinegar.

[@journeyandjoy]

Won't have any sinus colds with this tonic! Lol.

Hi Shira.......does it matter what kind of whole pepper one uses in fire cider? Jalapenos taste like aluminum foil to me.

Any pepper is fine depending on what your spice tolerance is. My friend makes hers with habanero and its delicious!

You really shouldn't drink vinegar straight at least dilute it in some water. Whatever benefits you get from it won't be diminished at all and you won't be damaging your esophagus.

[@Dookanoo]

....this recipe feels off.

[@Epicurious_Me]

The turmeric is missing

[@TommyAlanRaines]

I personally would use regular Apple Cider with a shot a few shots white rum! in place of Apple Cider Vinegar. I wonder if this would also put hair on a man's chest! hahah

she keeps saying delicious... I don't think she knows what that word means... In all seriousness... I get that she might not be able to claim health benefits... but she can talk about the vitamins and minerals each item has, how the vinegar can draw it out...

[@canterburybell8435]

Thank you for your informative video. Can you re-use the hard ingredients twice, or is all the goodness gone on the first time round? Once again thank you.

[@heavencantwait1218]

Canterbury Bell I was wondering the same thing ?

[@NganLe-tb8bt]

I heard people reuse the ingredients, pouring new ACV again.

[@rfastkats924]

I add all of the same and add turmeric, rose hips and elderberries

[@WarriorNana4Chg]

Am I an Awful Person for wanting to put all Chopped Produce in the Vitamix Blender and skip the Manual chop Until Small?

Good Evening, Is the infused material reusable? Can I add more Apple cider vinegar? If so, how many times until it’s not readable?

I wish I could train myself to ingest Bragg's Raw Apple Cide Vinegar. Just the smell alone is enough to make myself gag.

[@helpfulnatural]

Dilute it with a small amount of water. Much easier to drink. :)

[@ericsigginssr]

Jesus all the benificial properties are in the skins Wich are in the garbage in this cider

[@grod0051]

I see this is for 1 quart. So I need to quadruple the recipe?? Isn't that expensive. Being a very limited income 700 a month for 3 is difficult but also realize that this is important to me. I don't want to use powders and the like since fresh is way more flavorful and better for this. , my stomach is very sensitive.. I cant do serious heat. Could I use hall the horseradish and jalapenos?????? Sorry for all the questions. Thanks for the video!!!!!

[@alekspapez]

like with almost all cooking: the answer is yes, you can customize this recipe the way you like!

How long is the tonic good for?

[@drwho6891]

Can anyone tell me if we could reuse the veggies in it for another round?

[@tesspaysattention]

I wouldn't do that. It's interesting that her used veggies look like nothing happened to them, but their flavours and healthy ingredients are extracted and the garlic can turn green/blue-ish.

[@donnakeeley7924]

I hate to waste all these herbs a veggies for 1 cup of tonic. Can't afford that! I'll go to a home made Wonder Tonic and be healthier.

[@teekotrain6845]

You dry them out and use as seasonings for your food. It is zero waste, you can know what is in it and customize it (this recipe lacks a lot), and it's way more affordable than what is in the store. I am making mine with kombucha vinegar. Since i make my own kombucha my five gallon batch will have cost me less than a dollar to make the kombucha. 4 lbs peppers, 4 lbs garlic, 4 lbs ginger, 4 lbs horseraddish, 4 lbs tumeric, and some other things i will throw in like cinnamon, carrots, peppercorns, lemon and lemon grass, thyme, It will be under 50 bucks for five gallons. And then i will have a ton of spices.....a ton in addition to my super potent version of a master tonic, so although i am making a 5 gallon batch i might as well ne making 20 gallons because it's concentrated and that way if someone else needs it they can have some too.

[@mattforbes7833]

Immuneboosting? Bullshit.

[@evalynn1863]

You're joking, right?

[@kat284]

Evalynn not really...if you know anything about immunity then you’d know that these weird drinks don’t do much plus all that sugar just goes straight into your bloodstream pushing you closer to becoming type 2 diabetic. Stop believing rubbish and just eat normally and diversely. Immune system is in the gut which mean microbiome, which means sweet disgusting drink isn’t the answer

[@evalynn1863]

Lmao the fact that you think consuming honey is what causes type 2 diabetes proves you have no idea what you're even talking about. I'm sorry, my brother, sister and I all have biology degrees, my brother is two classes short of being a biology professor, I think I know what I'm talking about. Nice try though. Keep shoving prescription antibiotics down your throat, we'll see who lives longer. I believe science, I believe my body, I believe results. What I don't believe is some random person on the internet pretending they know better because they read an article that was full of lies.

[@evalynn1863]

@iaagp I take a tablespoon in the morning and at night. It's super easy to make really big batches and it keeps in the refrigerator for months! I usually strain out all the solid pieces after a few weeks and leave the liquid in the mason jar. Definitely make sure you use a layer of parchment paper or something if you're using a container with a metal lid because the acidity of the vinegar will rust and eat through it.

[@evalynn1863]

@iaagp If you've had problems with your esophagus or persistent acid reflux that's definitely something you could do.
