Cannabis is a natural antibiotic. Besides taking away some of the pain, and just makes you feel better. Ingredients 1/2 O decarbed bud- 14 gram or 3/4 O trim decarbed - 21 grams, I suggest using bud to keep the cannabis taste down ½ cup peeled and shredded/diced ginger root ½ cup peeled and shredded/diced horseradish root ½ cup peeled and diced turmeric OR 1/4 cup additional ginger and 1/4 cup additional horseradish ½ cup white onion, chopped ¼ cup minced or crushed garlic cloves 2 organic jalapeno peppers, chopped Zest and juice from 2 organic lemons Raw apple cider vinegar ½ teaspoon black peppercorns Raw, organic honey to taste Optional Additions Several sprigs of fresh rosemary or thyme (optional) Equipment Quart-sized jar, you might want to use a 2 quart jar so enough room to cover all with apple cider vinegar, and having a few inches above. Wax paper Instructions Add the cannabis, ginger, horseradish, onion, garlic, jalapeno and lemon juice/zest to a quart-sized jar. Pack them down lightly so that the jar is about 3/4 full. Use a fermenting weight to hold down the veggies/roots, or place heavy roots at the top so that they will weigh down the herbs and jalapenos (which float). Pour a generous amount apple cider vinegar over the roots/vegetables. if you’re using a metal lid, line it with wax paper so that the vinegar doesn’t corrode it, then put the lid on. Place in a dark, room temperature cabinet for 2-4 weeks. (A month is best) When the cider is ready, shake well and then strain the roots/veggies using a cheesecloth or fine mesh sieve. Add honey to taste and store in the fridge Adapted from mommypotamus. Her suggestions How To Take Fire Cider Many people take 1-2 tablespoons throughout the fall/winter months as a preventative measure, or every three to four hours if symptoms are present. Here are some more ways to use it: As a “wellness shot” – I actually love the taste, so I put about 1 oz. in a shot glass to drink straight up As a tea – Breathe in the steam as you sip to relieve congestion In juice – For little ones, it’s best to serve a small amount mixed in freshly-pressed orange juice or lemonade As a marinade or salad dressing To Speed this up, you could heat on a double boiler for 8 to 10 hours. 1 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
