Kid-Approved Fire Cider

If you’ve ever had a traditional fire cider, it can be a little spicy, a little vinegar-y. Not something that’s easy to compete with bright purple, bubblegum flavored mainstream medicine when it comes to convincing your kid to take a swig. This kid-approved fire cider adds a great bit of raw honey to soothe those intense flavors.

Getting your kids involved in making the fire cider may also encourage them to want to try it! Still a no? Try adding a few tablespoons to some warm tea. Have a tea party. 

Either way, this fire cider is antimicrobial, antibacterial, and antiviral, making it a perfect choice for fighting off any sickness. 

This recipe is simple, measure with the heart. Add a lot of raw local honey to sweeten it up.
