Fire Cider

 

Fire Cider is supposed to help strengthen the immune system and ward off cold-weather illness. I have seen recipes with garlic, onion, and hot peppers or cayenne pepper as well, but I didn’t want garlic breath, raw onion does not appeal to me, and I thought I had cayenne but I don’t. 

I really don’t have that much faith in folk remedies, but it tastes good.

• 2 tblsp apple cider vinegar 
• 1 tsp fresh horseradish
• 1/2 tsp ginger paste
• 1 tsp turmeric
• 2 tsp lime juice
• 1 tblsp honey

In a tall glass, mix everything except ice cubes until the honey is completely dissolved. Add ice cubes.
