Fire cider is a modern variation of an ancient Greek remedy known as oxymel: a blend of vinegar and honey. Thousands of types have existed over millennia, from the ancient Persians to Medieval Europe. Fire cider has historically included additional ingredients of powerful roots and vegetables such as garlic, ginger, onion, horseradish and peppers—and there are still yet many variants even between fire ciders. For instance, our Fire Cider has nearly 40 organic superfood ingredients in each bottle! Reportable benefits include immunity-boosting, digestive support, fights inflammation, regulates blood sugar levels, has antioxidant properties, and much more. Our recipe provides the best ingredients while being attentive to optimal flavor.
