rosemary gladstar’s fire cider was the first to emphasize a variety of hot, spicy, pungent, immune-supportive

ingredientscopyright © 2016 Kristina Bauer/the untamed alchemist

ingredients/materials• 1 glass quart jar with lid

• 1 cup total of HOT stuff (fresh grated organic ginger and/or horseradish root, chopped organic hot peppers such as jalapeños, habañeros, etc.)

• 1 medium organic onion, minced • 10-15 cloves of organic garlic, crushed or chopped • Zest plus juice from 1 organic lemon • 1 T dried herb/spices like organic turmeric or 1-inch piece

fresh turmeric root, grated • Organic apple cider vinegar to fill your jar • wax/parchment paper (if you’re using a metal lid) & cheesecloth • raw, local, organic honey


preparation• Chop, mince, shred, juice, and zest relevant ingredients. be careful to avoid burns with hotter items like peppers. (I highly recommend wearing gloves!)

• Add all ingredients to your clean quart jar. Add organic apple cider vinegar to fill. If your lid is metal, add a wax or parchment paper liner to avoid the vinegar reacting with the metal.

• Cover tightly and shake well.

• Set aside to steep in a cool, dark place for a month shaking daily to agitate.


preparation (CONT’D)• At month's end, strain your fire cider through cheesecloth. REALLY Squeeze the cloth

to get all the goodness. use spent solids in other recipes or discard in compost.

• YOU CAN NOW BLEND WITH HONEY TO TASTE, STIRRING WELL TO MIX, TO HAVE PALATABLE FIRE CIDER READY AT HAND OR…

• BLEND SOME WITH HONEY FOR A DAILY “SHOT” AND set THE REST OF THE FIERY, UNSWEETENED INFUSION aside FOR USE IN OTHER RECIPES.

• pour into a clean GLASS jar/BOTTLE & Store in the fridge for up to 3 months.

using fire cider for wellness

traditional use =

a daily spoonful! try adding a shot to fresh juices/smoothies.


variations on the theme• add fresh chopped lemongrass & lots

of green onions

• substitute cayenne pepper INSTEAD OF FRESH HOT PEPPERS (watch the heat! this gets intense!!)

• use MASALA chai spices (WHOLE GREEN cardamom, CLOVE, CORIANDER SEEDS, BLACK PEPPERCORNS, STAR ANISE, PLUS FRESH GRATED GINGER ROOT)

• add cumin, coriander seed, chipotle powder & jalapeños


additional recipes• the fiery mary

• fiery salad dressing

• bone broth

• fiery marinade & barbecue sauce

• fire slaw

• stir fire


the fiery mary1-2T of your hot and spicy fire

cider adds big zing to a traditional Bloody Mary

Standard base ingredients: bloody mary mix, tomato juice, or

V8 Worcestershire

hot sauce celery salt

salt, and pepper (vodka, if you're into that)

shake it up more: add some carrot juice & a pinch of chipotle powder.

Garnish with celery, olives, pickled veg, a lemon slice, pepperoncini, or, if you're a meat eater, crispy

peppered bacon.


fiery salad dressing• 1 organic egg • 2 3/4 cup organic vegetable oil (try olive, avocado, or

sunflower oil) • 1 cup organic fire cider • 1/2 cup raw, local organic honey • 2 tsp salt • 3/4 tsp EACH dried black pepper, oregano, basil,

garlic powder • 3/4 tsp Worcestershire sauce

Beat egg briskly in a stainless steel bowl.

In a separate bowl, whisk the honey and fire cider together.

Add oil to egg slowly, alternating with vinegar/honey mixture, beating constantly. (If you have an emulsifying stick blender or Vitamix, use it!)

Add spices and Worcestershire; mix/stir well to blend.

Refrigerate at least two hours before using; keeps up to two weeks.


bone brothFor your best bone broth ever, place bones in your stock pot

and cover with water, measuring water as you go.

When bones are covered, add 4T to 1/2 cup fire cider per gallon of water used.

Let the bones soak for at least one hour before adding other

ingredients or beginning to heat.

From there, commence as you typically would with your

favorite bone broth recipe.

you need vinegar in homemade BONE BROTH to get the

full benefit:

vinegar helps pull minerals from the

marrow, a process that

slows when the bones begin heating up.


fiery marinade & bbq sauce• 1/3 cup organic tomato puree • 3T organic ketchup • 1T brown sugar • 2T raw organic local honey • 1 clove organic garlic, minced or pressed • 1/4 cup fire cider • salt & pepper

Let them marinate at least to hours up to overnight.

Cook on the grill or under the broiler to desired done-ness.


fire slaw• 1/4 organic red cabbage, thinly shredded • 2 carrots, halved and thinly sliced • 2 organic radishes, thinly sliced • 1 organic fennel bulb, thinly sliced • 1 organic tart apple (such as Granny

Smith), cored and thinly sliced • 2T fire cider • juice of 1 organic lime • 2T raw local honey • 1T organic canola mayonnaise • Salt & pepper

In a large bowl, whisk together fire cider, lime juice, local honey, and mayonnaise until smooth and well blended.

Add sliced cabbage, carrots, radishes, fennel bulb, and apple; toss until well blended.


stir fry with fire ciderCHOOSE YOUR favorite fresh ORGANIC veg and chop. [think baby bok choy, heirloom carrots, cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, snow peas, & water chestnuts.]

prepare your meat/tofu, if using, in uniform slices/chunks.

Heat your wok to sizzling.

Add one TABLESPOON EACH: sesame or coconut oil, coconut aminos/soy sauce, and fire cider plus one teaspoon sweet chili sauce.

Stir fry meat/tofu until desired done-ness. Remove MEAT/TOFU from wok.

Keep wok sizzling hot and add two more tablespoons fire cider to wok before adding in veggies and stirring vigorously.

DON’T OVERCOOK THE VEG!

serve over delicious Asian noodles.

FRESH ORGANIC VEG + MEAT/TOFU + OIL/FIRE CIDER/CHILE SAUCE & SOY

OR COCONUT AMINOS/ = FIRE FRY
