I make a new batch of Fir Cider about once every two months. I take it daily as a preventative to ward off colds and flus. It is incredibly effective. However, there is a way to get even more benefits from Fire Cider.
Normally, when making a remedy like this, you follow the process that I have detailed in this post. Most people like to strain the plant matter out and compost it after 6 weeks and bottle the remaining liquid to use as the remedy.
However, to get double the amount of remedy from your batch of Fire Cider, you can keep the plant matter after you strain the mixture and create Fire Cider spread with it!
Here’s how:
You will need to gather your equipment: a hand blender, a strainer, a couple of bowls and your jar of Fire Cider.
Strain the liquid into one bowl.
And place the strained plant matter into the other bowl.
Use your hand blender to blend the chunks of herbal plant matter smooth.
Once it is blended into a spreadable consistency, you can place it in a jar and keep it refrigerated. It should last for months.
Now you have a spread that can be used on bread, crackers, as a dip for veggies, in marinade and in soups!
What a delicious way to keep healthy this winter! Have you made Fire Cider spread before?
