4-8 weeks later… 5. Use the cheesecloth to strain out the roots, fruits, veggies and herbs from the infused vinegar. Pour the infused vinegar into another clean jar.

tibacterial, antiviral, and rich in iron. Tulsi Rama is great if you are looking for an herb that supports circulation. • Moringa : an incredibly nutritive plant that contains many of the es- sential and non-essential amino acids that make our bodies healthy and strong • Nettles : I endearingly introduce this herb as “Nature’s Multivita - min.” This mineral-rich plant nourishes the hair, skin, and nails, gen- tly cleanses the lungs, and helps relieve the sinuses of seasonal aller- gies • Rosehips : rich in Vitamin C, antioxidants, and flavonoids that can reduce the risk of developing cancer • Ceylon cinnamon: helps curb sugar cravings and reduces insulin-re- sistance in the body. It also rounds out the Fire Cider’s flavor quite nicely! Making Your Cider 1. Chop and slice your roots, fruits, veggies and herbs. Place them into your glass jar. Mind your eyes when chopping your onions and peppers (and consider using gloves to avoid any mishaps later on!) 2. Pour the apple cider vinegar in the jar. Cover all ingredients and fill the jar as close to the top as possible. 3. Place a piece of parchment paper under the lid to keep the vin- egar from touching the metal (this creates rust). Shake well. 4. Place in a dark, cool place, and allow it to infuse for 4-8 weeks. Remember to shake the jar daily!
