I get tears in my eyes when you look at the camera and say, "Don't be afraid to get your hands dirty and learn something Old". It brings me back to when I was a child trying to do something scary and Mom would say don't be afraid, I am right here, just give it a try. I am pretty sure at this moment I could do anything! Well... you get my point. ;-) Pure Inspiration.

[@pepper24able]

What a privilege that Mum and daughter can work together and have fun. You are truly blessed.

[@renz8563]

Lost my mom almost three years ago and now every time I see a mom and daughter duo my heart breaks just a little bit more but it also warms my heart too! They are truly blessed!❤

[@antoniosanford4675]

You could put that powder in a tea bag and make a fire cider tea or you could use it as a powdered drink.

[@future.homesteader]

I dehydrate & powder my fire cider solids & I've seen lots of comments online that other people do also & use the powder as seasoning spice, in salad dressings or in capsules. My son mixes the powder with juice & takes it instead of the extract. Only reason I haven't freeze dried it is bc I don't have a freeze drier.

[@TheHoneystead]

Great idea!

[@Michelle-mr8ip]

I dehydrate it also! And have used it as a steak rub! SO GOOD!👊🏼

[@future.homesteader]

@@Michelle-mr8ip Steak rub would be good. Gonna have to try that one once I have more powder. (Currently out of fire cider & the powder)

[@thekingsdaughter4233]

I was wondering, however, if anything "valuable" is left in the scraps? I thought they'd be pretty much spent, and all the good stuff is in the vinegar? So maybe for seasoning, but not so much therapeutically?

[@RSJ-Texas]

I do the same !!!!

[@lisahull6059]

I just recently discovered your Chanel . I have a desire to learn about Herbs. I have to say this. I never knew my mom or my grandmother so I thoroughly enjoy seeing you two working together and actually enjoying each others company. What a blessing. ❤ ❤

[@thejackalopefarm6201]

Laughed so hard watching you two try the powder, hilarious! 🤣

[@CBains]

Made your fire cider recipe and pressed it off today after 6 weeks steeping. We then dried the scraps and ground into a powder. It’s beautiful! So full of flavour! Citrusy and spicy! Now to figure out what food to use it on. Chicken… fish, like a blackened fish spice maybe? Love love your show, ladies! Keep up the great work!

[@marleenkerri2408]

Do you have a link of where we can purchase the tray for filling the capsules? That is handy!

[@stephaniehanuman-dale6279]

Fire cider chicken wings sound delicious 🤤If you use it as a spice there’s lots of possibilities. I wonder if it would be good for using to make quick pickled carrots 🥕

[@TexasBeekeeper]

LOL that was hilarious watching the taste test. Thanks for sharing!

[@TheHoneystead]

Hahaha

[@minnickfamilyfarm]

Have you guys thought about getting your fire cider (liquid) and these powder capsules tested for nutritional value? This would be really interesting to see how much nutrients the cider liquid and pressing has pulled from the fruit/herbs itself. This could be a big seller if you went down that route.

[@t.freeman3867]

Where would they get it tested?

[@minnickfamilyfarm]

@@t.freeman3867 there’s multiple agencies out there to do nutritional testing for food products. A lot of lab associated universities as well.

[@meloniestewart2940]

I found out the hard way about storing fire cider in the fridge. Everyone had access to it and oftentimes, the outside of the jar was not wiped after use meaning sometimes, it dripped down the jar eventually, making a hole in the shelf. Putting the jar in a plastic bag or container before storing it in the fridge would have been a much better idea 😁

[@shidelsresthomestead6921]

Excellent idea. My husband will live the capsules, because he has a gag reflex on everything vinegar. But he wants to take the fire cider. These capsules are definite going to be a WIN WIN THING, in our homestead. Thank you ladies!!! 😎😘

[@tracyguillemette6255]

We use the dehydrated fire cider powder in salad dressings and taco seasoning.....

[@TheHoneystead]

Ohhhhh taco seasoning 🙌🙌🙌 great idea!

[@karenpolzin8297]

Great job! love the idea of using the marc! Mix with cream cheese and make a cracker spread! I'll be saving mine after my next batch! Maybe Elderberry too?

[@brigittemiller5073]

That is a great idea to mix with some cheese and add some fresh herbs.....

[@MyNononono]

Is it embarrassing that half of why I watch this channel is cus I'm jealous of their mom and daughter relationship 😭😭 happy for you guys life💓

[@salettamyers8845]

[@kimberlykimball6841]

I love you guys!!! Beautiful relationship between you two.

[@sherrielewis2651]

Ohhh, I have a regular dehydrator. I'm gonna dehydrate my FC scraps and mix with honey. Sounds delicious and nutritious. Maybe mix with homemade mayo to make a sandwich spread.

[@sherrielewis2651]

I did it about 2 wks ago. Today I put a spoonful of FC powder in hot water and added honey. Helped to clear my sinuses

[@kmosker]

I've been dehydrating mine (combination of oven first then food dehydrator) and grinding into a powder. I use it on just about everything from roasted chicken to potato salad. Everyone loves it and it has a delicious citrusy, mildly spicy kick. The only problem is that it takes days to dehydrate and I have to grind it in small batches. The entire time, the fumes waft up and burn my eyes and throat! It is potent stuff! I've been using it for a little over 6 months and wondering if any of my lab work will improve once I'm tested again... We shall see! Follow-up 3 months later: Just got lab results and every single one of my "bad" numbers has improved (cholesterol, triglycerides, glucose, etc), not just a little but a lot! I am not a medical professional and do not proclaim this is the reason, but... The only other thing I've changed in my diet or habits is I've increased my natto intake and have a shot of fire cider with each batch (twice per week minimum).

[@ChristineN1]

I was going to comment and ask if this could be done in a dehydrator. I'll have to try it your way once my batch is ready.

[@kmosker]

@@ChristineN1 The reason I have to use the oven first is due to shear volume. It shrinks in size as it dries out. My dehydrator isn't big enough to do the whole batch at the beginning. Enjoy!!!

[@heatherbottoms5813]

Well done!

[@deanablythe9394]

Thanks for sharing.

[@taililly2483]

How long do you dry in the oven and at what temp?

[@4naturalmedicine]

I agree. We have all the things you have to do this & I was actually thinking of doing the same thing. I also considered freeze drying the fire cider itself to capsuleate it. Mixing the 2 so you have some of both

[@EnergyAndLightAwakening]

This is fantastic!! I always felt bad throwing out the left overs and always wondered what I could do with it but never took the tiem to figure it out.

[@tgailwilliams]

This is BRILLIANT!!! I have done this with apple peelings and cores left over and made a powder that is wonderful! I did pull the seeds out. :). I am trying this the next time I make the FS! THANK YOU!

[@TheHoneystead]

Ohh awesome! Let me know how it works!

[@2listening1]

2:40 Hi, Mom! 🙋🏻‍♀️💛💛💛💛💛💛💛

[@osiyopeaceosiyopeace4807]

I always save it and marinate our meats with it of put it in salads. And I also use it as fire cider chunks in the refrigerator

[@TheHoneystead]

Yum!!!

[@saunessaminer8339]

I put my scraps in my dehydrator, I don't use orange lemon or lime, I use defended elderberry and choke cherry, that aside after dehydrating the scraps I powder it and use it as a spice for meats, dry rub, marinate, veggies etc. Anything I would mix spices for.

[@SleepyHead76]

I’m not able to freeze dry but I do have all the pulp from my first ever fire cider in the dehydrator! I’m stoked to make my own capsules in addition to the fire cider.

[@timskelton4958]

Hello from Mississippi, glad I found your channel. O I put apple cider vinegar in my green tea every day for the last 12 years no more heart burn .😁

[@rhondaw8873]

I love seeing your and your moms relationship. It reminds me of me and my mom!!❤

[@lisekautzman4449]

I dehydrate any solids left from teas, turmeric, ginger and lemon juice and then grind into a powder. Easy to add to soups, stews, marinades etc. definitely great idea to put the powder into capsules ❤

[@Tinksmeadow]

Herbs are always best when fresh.

[@carolstrickland6979]

Yes dehydrate the solids then grind into power. Freeze dry the powder it and put u n jars. Can add powder to teas or fruits drinks .

[@DementiaSurvivor]

She did not just say she wanted to try the powder, love mama!

[@evelyneyahpaise729]

I have a jar full of dried fire cider I dried in my Excalibur, I was going to make capsules as well, I just need to buy a capsule maker. it is a great idea!!!

[@allanavnet8788]

The two of you are a blast to watch. Keep up the good work.

[@rhondapayne8384]

What would the difference be between freeze drying and dehydrating? Would either one work?

[@Shyonekm]

Yes, I just did this in a dehydrator ❤my first go round at FC 🔥 and I crushed it whoop whoop

[@realitycheck6]

I have dehydrated my scraps as well. So many options!

[@artistirmafeliciarodriguez7752]

You could use the dried fire cider in a chilli, Cheese Tex Rice, spicy salsa or other spicy foods

[@dawnmorelli1342]

i dehydrated my fire cider scraps and powered them. I sprinkle it in sauces and such. If I use too much my family def lets me know. but nothing wasted!!

[@CinematicNomads-k6d]

omg how did you like the results of the capsules ?! same effect !? genius!

[@LadysFarm]

Inventions in the making. Paten pending investors welcome 🤗. Love it

[@TheHoneystead]

Lol maybe one day!

[@SleepyHead76]

Well, I don’t have a freeze dryer but I am so glad I watched this! I just made my first fire cider today and will definitely dehydrate the leftovers for seasonings.

[@DementiaSurvivor]

Best episode ever! I wish more people could understand the value of this information. Infection gets cured with fire cider. When you don't have anything else, you have God's Goodness, and that's all you need.

Thank You !

[@suzycowan5072]

I think making a capsule is a wonderful idea, and OMG to use it as a spice makes my mouth water for some good "Fire Cider Chicken." I am always trying to find ways to use up every bit of our kitchen waste, whether it be to compost it or find other ways. I have turned our tomato skins into tomato powder and some of our habaneros and Jalapenos into a powder so far and want to try lots of other things. I am pretty excited now that gardening season has begun and have spent the better part of winter watching videos and taking notes on what I think I am able to do pretty easily. I bought myself an encapsulator and some veggie capsules and plan to make for my own personal use some of the recipes I have taken notes on. I don't have a freeze dryer as they are just too expensive for my budget still, so I either dehydrate everything or I dry it in the sun and breeze. I just love your channel, thank you so much for all you do. Many Blessings to you both and may you always have good health, safety, and prosperity in all you do. God Bless ~SuzyJC_05.13.2022~

[@tamaramccrae4129]

[@ronnalavadure2152]

This can cure an infection in your body, that's my vote! Also, tummy ulcers, gone!
