Making Fire Cider, a Simple Herbal Tonic - Tiny House Cooking

[@WranglerBros]

Great vid thanks and love your tips in and outside the kitchen

[@kathyhennigan7807]

I like to drink mine in a glass of cold apple juice. It actually tastes pretty good that way.

[@damogranheart5521]

Now that's a lovely suggestion! Will try that.

[@bbpatch8]

Made this shortly after watching this video, purposefully cut everything really small so I didn’t have to wait too long… and I’m having that “a cold is coming” feeling so I’m about to drain one of my two jars and give it a shot ;)

[@cedarrockcabin3633]

Dog-gon! This stuff really works! I made some about 2 years ago, but haven't been sick since I made it & some elderberry syrup. I keep the syrup in the fridge. I started feeling a cold coming on after being around grandchildren over the weekend. I pulled the fire cider & syrup out, diluted with a little water, held my breath & gulped it down. I don't know how long before I could feel a difference, but I know 2 hrs later I realized my sore throat & runny nose were better. I figured the cider would still be good but expected the syrup to possibly be wine. But it looked, smelled & tasted exactly how it should. I had hoped it would help but honestly didn't have much confidence in it. By golly. my symptoms went away for several hours. It's made a believer out of me! You do need to keep taking it 3-4 times a day. But it works without making me tired or affecting my blood pressure. I'm sold!!!

Lovely and powerful! Thanks for sharing! This is my first visit to your channel! Be made Blissful everyone!

Thank you very much for your kind blessings 🙌 🙏 ✨️

Your videos are the best to illustrate daily life in a tiny home and living as off grid one can reasonably get.

[@bradpayn8058]

I never thought of it as medicine, but I make something sort of like that, it's never the same recipe twice, (old Patròn bottles are nice) and use it with oil and maybe some straight balsamic vinegar as cut if too strong, for salad dressing. I had always thought of it just as flavored vinegar, but now I'll call it medicine !

[@tjeanvlogs9894]

I add fire cider to honey and warm water during our maritime pac NW grey times, especially if I've gotten chilled.

[@dballard8660]

Great recipe. We're in the Willamette Valley, Oregon and just received today in the mail a pound of fresh turmeric from Honey Tree Farm in North Carolina. Will use some of that in this recipe and save the rest to plant out in the garden. Thanks Ariel. Great channel.

[@williambent9636]

As an one-time apprentice herbalist ( I worked with an herbalist, gathering, processing, etc., so I could learn from an expert), I can see why this concoction would quickly boost immunity. And so quick to make and especially use! And, I'm embarrassed to admit, I have Rosemary's herbal on my shelf and have never used it. Good video and good kick in the pants.

[@damogranheart5521]

At one time or another we have all needed a good swift kick in the pants! I seem to need that with alarming regularity!

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year Folks

👍🇨🇦🎅🎁🎄🎊

[@cekfraun]

Great tutorial, Ariel. I am definitely going to try making some fire cider. These days, we need all the immune boosting help we can get!

[@robine916]

I made this 2 months ago. I usually try to take it daily throughout the cold season, increasing my dose if I am unwell. It also helps my digestive issues! :D

[@damogranheart5521]

That's good to know about digestive issues. Thank you. I need that!

[@richardschmidt2430]

A very informational, entertaining video! Good job, Ariel! Thanks for informing people! :) Dawn @ Rich & Dawn in MN :)

[@Johnsoncrna]

Very timely, as we are about to hit the peak of cold and flu season. I’m going to make some!

[@LoriSkees]

This looks awesome! Putting this on my to do list!

[@opalm21]

Just this morning I thought about fire cider! I only make it in the winter and we really feel it helps us throughout the cold and flu season.

[@dfhepner]

Another thing to try.

[@damogranheart5521]

Yep! Always good to keep an open mind! Stay curious!

[@cathylynnpietranton]

Thanks Ariel

[@shirleymurphy1958]

Take a small jar and throw in 3 or 4 cloves and put the cover on and shake the peel comes right off. Great combo for keeping yourself healthy.

[@Mtlk77]

Could you add the book to your Amazon store?

[@citybarbs5563]

Glad I watched this! I've not used lemon or rosemary, and am looking forward to trying them in a batch. I do not bother to peel the garlic, no need when you're leaving it sit and straining before using.

[@allisonbradshaw8166]

Curious as to how long the fire cider will keep on the shelf?

[@richardschmidt2430]

Oh, Ariel! This stuff "saved" me, recently! 3 weeks+ down....this stuff was awesome! :) Dawn @ Rich & Dawn in MN :)

[@DragonflyenAmber]

I made some for the first time this year, I tossed everything into the food processor. The taste takes a bit of getting used to (for me anyway) but I like it.

[@lilyavery8230]

I was wondering if you blend it all together after 6 weeks… don’t want to waste any of it! 😊

[@DragonflyenAmber]

@@lilyavery8230 It's all in the same jar as it processes, you chop the stuff, stick it in the jar, pour on the vinegar and leave it for a few weeks. Then you strain into another jar and use it.

[@lilyavery8230]

@@DragonflyenAmber thank you for the reply… I made a jar in early December and nearing the 6 week mark at the end of this month… can I then blend the jar or just strain and dump the veggies for compost…seems like it would benefit to keep everything together and blend at the end…or at least that’s my process to not waste anything…

[@DragonflyenAmber]

@@lilyavery8230 What do you mean by blend? All the ingredients are in the same jar correct? (blended in together) When I say I put them in the blender I'm saying that I put them in to be chopped small before putting them into the jar of vinegar. After using them yes, I put the veggie bits into the compost bin

[@dawnbaker9274]

Never heard of this before. Going to start this this winter for next year. Thanks.

[@hollyslaughter5505]

Spiral bound books are the best❕ I was gifted a spiral bound canning book and have purchased several more over the years years love them, well worth the extra $ in my opinion.

[@vannemocilac274]

I’ve taken regular bound books to staples and they will spiral bind them for a fee. Handy.

[@damogranheart5521]

@@vannemocilac274 Wow!! I did Not Know That!! Thank you very much!

[@magamutts5726]

This looks amazing! All those ingredients are so powerfully good for the body. I bought the book you referenced too Ariel, keep sharing these types of things, so very valuable. Also, I meant to mention on your last video to look into the supplement NEEM. It’s good for so many things, hair and skin, parasites, cleans the blood, and it also helps periodontal issues. I came across it by accident and have been taking it for approximately 2 weeks. I literally can feel a difference, I feel clean inside and lighter. Hard to describe but I’m pretty impressed so far.

[@damogranheart5521]

Thank you for sharing the information with us!🦋🌱🍁❄

[@janebrommet7942]

Tkx Ariel, i use colloidaal silver water which i make myself for my ponys. I will make your recepy. Love from holland

[@FyNyth]

That is another amazing thing to have on hand.

[@dianamiles-hannah1286]

Thank you for the recipe, Ariel. Will definitely make a batch going into winter here in Western PA😉

[@sued.530]

Thanks so much for making this video. I am trying to grow ginger and turmeric indoors this time as they did not like being moved outdoors in summer in my area. It is so expensive in the store as is everything but I was able to get a 3 foot plant out of it the first time. They say to use coco coir to grow it in and soak the root to get it to sprout before planting.

[@judymcintire8061]

Thank you for sharing this recipe! So easy to throw together. Definitely going to get that book!🤗👍

[@susanlamb7431]

I use this mixture to make the basis of a cooking source wizzing the veg to refine it.

[@beverlymichael5830]

Looks great. A little different from my recipe. I like it and am going to make a jar this way also. I did not put horseradish in mine. But really like it so I want to make a jar. 👍

[@suemcknight9051]

I’m kinda laughing, not that there’s anything funny about a super sensitivity to touching hot peppers…but, you are gloveless & maskless processing the horseradish & turmeric 😱. I had one horrid experience decades ago with horseradish. For me, I would like to try the end result, but think, I would need a hazmat outfit to do the prepping! I’m ready to award you a Purple Heart 💜 for bravery.

[@janebrommet7942]

Ariel i love you!!! I just found out that turmeric is kurkuma..... And horsraddish Is mierik.... Now i can make it👍💪💪

[@FyNyth]

Perfect! That I would not have known.

[@Lelliott1122]

I am going to make some of this soon! Thank you❤️

[@michaelmarage415]

You don't need to refrigerate while it seeps or after? Thank you for this recipe.

[@LWYOffGridHomestead]

I have that book...I'll have to make some of that 😁

[@alladreamwedreamed]

Thank you for the recipe! Rosemary Gladstar is the queen 👸 I use her elderberry syrup recipe too.

[@inbedduringcovid3005]

I really like this way because I don't want to make wine then vinegar by adding sugar daily and mixing. I love that way too but its not easy for bedridden and I need this. Thanks for sharing that I could just use vinegar and let it sit.

[@damogranheart5521]

I hope that you have been healed and are able to function much better.

[@chrisstepleton4761]

Very interesting but will not be trying it since I don't like rosemary or tumeric. Love you, Burley!

[@judyg9889]

Just leave those out. Everybody's recipe is different, according to what they like or what they have on hand.

[@chrisstepleton4761]

@@judyg9889 oh, ok.

[@margarettt7675]

Great video as usual. Question: I notice when the gloves came off they went into an lower cabinet. Was that to be washed for reuse, or into the garbage. We wash our gloves and reuse them many, many times, but with these ingredients I am not so sure that would work out well.

[@nancycolbert2703]

Thanks for sharing. Will give this a try.

Hi. I love your videos. But what are you making. Some of the things looks liked ginseng. My sisters husband digs it and sells it. Thanks so much,,

[@skepticalmom2948]

Do you grow your own ginger and turmeric? I started some that I bought at the grocery store. Just put them in a pot and grow the in a window. I harvest mine once per year and keep a nob to replant.

[@jeanetteschulthe1andOnly]

I did not know that was in Rosemary's book. I have the regular book...wow.

[@joellenbroetzmann9053]

Thanks for the lesson. My husband is on immunotherapy for stage 4 cancer, and with all the latest health concerns, I'm going to make some to hopefully nip any virus in the bud for his sake. I wonder how putting some thyme in there would go?

[@dianetm8557]

Oh, this is a lot…. Stay strong

Thyme is an antiviral and good immune support. Blessings on you and your husband.🕊🕊🕊🕊

[@PoisonnEnvyy]

Thanks beautiful I appreciate this video I too have the Rosemary gladstar book but I add my own spin to mine as well is grapefruit ok to use?

[@masquitaful]

I grew up growing horseradish in Ok. I have tried several times to grow it here in Southern Ms, and it never did well. I ordered some more to try. Should I try it in partial shade? I assume that extremely rich soil is a must. I am going to try to make some fire cider.

[@damogranheart5521]

Perhaps it is like rhubarb which must have cooler temperatures and a cold winter in order to flourish. I know that rhubarb does not grow in most of the south.

[@ritaholcombe9905]

Do I have to use jalapeños?

[@damogranheart5521]

You could leave them out OR you could seed them and remove the white membranes that hold the seeds in. This reduces the heat. And you can also mix a shot with water or apple juice to cut it like water with scotch. I hope you give these suggestions a try.

[@indie825]

Turmeric root kinda creeps me out cause it looks like a grub. I've always wanted to try this type of tonic. A number of years ago a someone had a similar tonic he called Samurai Tonic. He advised if you lips get dry your drinking too much of the tonic.

[@Ladythyme]

RoseGladstar is a favorite… oh yes that stuff makes your whole body pucker! Lol I believe Rosemary Gladstar has a KZbin video where she prepares her own Recipe…

[@annehansen7496]

Is this for flu?Looking good. 👍👍👍🇳🇴

[@rachelrichards8312]

I suspect your fire cider "mush" would be great in a curry.

[@damogranheart5521]

Now that's a good idea to try! Thank you.

I need to make some

[@rocklover7437]

Ariel you are so crafty ..reference Pine needle tea video .

[@mircat28]

Glad it works for you! My flu shot works for me. I don't want to drink something that feels like its killing me while it's supposed to save me. But good you both use it makes kissing less repulsive!

[@Qrtuop]

Lmao I love you lady, amazing response

[@damogranheart5521]

This is funny cause my flu shots make me sick for a couple of days. Next time I get a flu shot I will have some fire cider ready!

[@lorrilaque7311]

Do you need to store it in the fridge after fermentation?

[@damogranheart5521]

She pulled her bottle for a shot from the cupboard I think.

[@Dawn.of.the-day]

No need to refrigerate, I haven't seen a recommendation to do so, usually stored in a cool dry place.

He he...fun watching you cry! I'm gonna try this! It looks amazing! Thanks 👍 🇨🇦 🐾 😎 🌲💦🎅🎁🎄

Yummy!

[@chrismoore9686]

I always thought fire cider was 'spicy' apple juice! Imagine my surprise. Now on to the elephant in the room, or should I say refrigerator in the room. Why is your fridge in the middle of the room? LOL

[@DE2borknot2b]

Chris Moore - last video, I think, Ariel mentioned a water leak where the refrigerator sits & allowing it to dry out before moving refrigerator back in its spot. Watch last video or two. 🙂🙂

[@karennewberry4694]

@Chris Moore some sort of water leakage issue somewhere and needing to move the fridge for it to dry out , I think?? Mentioned a few videos ago.

[@damogranheart5521]

I must have somehow missed that one. And I thought I had seen them all.

[@dorisharrison9885]

I haven't seen Ariel since December 10th,have anyone hear from her,please let me know

[@mircat28]

Considering how much more sensitive a dog's nose is compared to a human wouldn't Burley be suffering a hundred times more than you and maybe that is why he wanted out??

[@pamelahansen5928]

[@donnahannah1367]

Im extremely sensitive to spicy anything I even have a problem with salt

[@DE2borknot2b]

I'm not a spicy type food eater myself!!! Hot peppers are a no-no for me. I can't stand the smell of horseradish....ugh! My eyes start watering.... There's got to be a substitute for an item or two to replace in your fire cider & still have a good herbal remedy for illness???

[@damogranheart5521]

@@DE2borknot2b You could reduce the amounts of horseradish and seed the jalapeños and reduce those also. Another thought is to cut it with water or apple juice. A slice of buttered bread also cuts the heat.
