why do you add honey after the infusion and not right away with all the other ingredients?

I make this every year. It is a go to when I feel a cold coming on. I give it to my kids ( even though they are in their 40’s) for when they start feeling badly. I keep mind in the refrigerator.

In reply to Ingrid. Many grocery stores have horseradish root in the produce area now. Ask if you do not find it. Jarred is not a good substitute.

Can you use jarred horseradish from the store or is there a substitute?

Without a doubt this is the only remedy that helps me beat the winter/spring colds. I do add fresh grated tumeric root, 2 cinnamon stixs broken and 6 whole cloves and forego the honey! Always have this in my fridge and it is time to make it again! Thank you Tami for this recipe! Yvonne

In reply to Melissa Borghart-Ris. Pregnancy is not the time to switch things up and try new things. I can't make pregnancy recommendations over the internet. Please work with your midwife, so that you can find what is the best for your particular constitution and situation.

Hi Kami, I read your comment that this fire cider is too hot for use during pregnancy. Can I modify it for safe use? I could leave out the chilly and horseradish and use turmeric in stead. I crave everything spicy this pregnancy, so a bit hot won’t be too bad, right?
Many thanks for your recipe!

I just decanted my fire cider last night–a few days early because I’m starting to feel that fall itchy sore throat coming on. Started taking it this morning, just a teaspoon to start and within 10min I was feeling really warm all over! Going to keep on with it until my throat is better. Thank you, Kami, for sharing Rosemary’s recipe!

In reply to Helene Henkel. I dont like to use the jarred horseradish, it is not as strong. I know, the roots are large. You can also make horseradish sauce with the leftover horseradish

In reply to Karla H Hardy. Fire cider is really a folk remedy that people add dozens of different herbs to. You can do it without those two ingredients, people also add turmeric, elderberry, thyme

In reply to Oluffa Frederiksen. I use either cayenne pepper or jalapeno. You can also use powdered cayenne pepper. You want a pepper that is hot and not too juicy
