Fire Cider by Rosemary Gladstar and Friends

 

I first learned about fire cider last year. Intrigued by the idea of fire cider, I read more about it online and even watched a few YouTube videos on the topic as well. I even found a video featuring Rosemary Gladstar making her very own recipe of fire cider for all to make, which was fun to watch.

I came across Fire Cider by Rosemary Gladstar and Friends for 43% off the cover price on Amazon. I almost didn't purchase this book because there are so many different fire cider recipes out there on the internet for free one can download... But I am glad that I made the leap and purchased Fire Cider by Rosemary Gladstar and Friends as it lived up to the glowing reviews!!

Fire Cider by Rosemary Gladstar and Friends is a physically gorgeous book! It's a nice sized paperback with lightly textured, matte pages. Both the exterior and interior of this book are beautifully illustrated. I enjoyed the layout and presentation of the material/information presented in Fire Cider by Rosemary Gladstar and Friends. The font style and font size used for Fire Cider made for easy ready on the eyes.

I've never made or tried fire cider before. There are a WIDE variety of fire cider recipes out there to choose from, which will suit all tastes. I am not sure I want to make fire cider from scratch as it sounds like quite a bit of work to make in the form of chopping, which will be too much for my CRPS issues at this time. The good news is that I've seen fire cider sold on various platforms, including Amazon! Have you ever made and/or used fire cider? What were your results with making and/or using fire cider?

There are also plenty of foodie related recipes using fire cider in Fire Cider by Rosemary Gladstar and Friends. 

Below is the publisher's summary for Fire Cider by Rosemary Gladstar and Friends I discovered on Amazon's website:

Her original recipe, inspired by traditional cider vinegar remedies, has given rise to dozens of fire cider formulations created by fans of the tonic who use it to address everyday ills, from colds and flu to leg cramps and hangovers.
