Cold, Sinus & Flu Tonic (Lacto-Fermented!) ~ FIRE CIDER

1/17/2015

Picture
This is a serious recipe for people who really want to feel better fast.  It's powerful stuff; take it seriously and don't overuse it.  A sip a few times a day is enough, and work your way up.  

Ready to Use:
 One week, but the longer, the better.  The heat will mellow a bit over time.

Ingredients:
Equal Amounts:
Hot Pepper, cleaned with or without seeds
Horseradish, peeled
Onion
Garlic, peeled and ends trimmed
Ginger, peeled

All ingredients sliced, chopped, or grated.

Print Friendly and PDFPrint Friendly
Jar: 1 Liter
Brine: 2%
Ferment: 5-7 days
Temperature: 68-72ºF

Preparation: 

1.  Very loosely (do not pack) layer ingredients in the Probiotic Jar, so that they fill approximately half of the jar.   
2.  Add 2% brine to just below the neck.  
3.  Float the Brine Bowl on top of the brine.
4.  Lock the Jar, fill the Airlock with water, and twist the Airlock into place.
5.  Place in a dark spot at 68-72ºF for 5-7, then move to the refrigerator and use the brine.

Use the ingredients in the jar as the brine level lowers, to make sure that the ingredients stay covered with Brine.  Do not remove all the ingredients until the brine is gone.  The ingredients continue to feed the bacteria.

Notes:

In the picture, the ingredients were prepared for other ferments, and what we put in this jar was the left-overs from slicing, dicing, chopping and grating all five ingredients.  It would be ideal to prepare all of the ingredients in the same way, but this is going to ferment just wonderfully and create a powerful medicinal product even though some of the ingredients are grated, some are sliced, and some are chunks.  What a wonderful way to use up the leftovers!

Could this tonic be made then canned for use later?

Hi DeeDee,

I would not heat can because you would lose the enzymes and the probiotics. I store it in the back of my refrigerator and check the Airlock periodically (to make sure it doesn't dry out) and pull it out when needed. I'm not sure that very much would remain medicinally if heat canned. :)

Try some of this in a small glass of tomato juice. Think of Bloody Mary (without the vodka). My husband loves it!
