What is fire cider?

Fire cider is a traditional herbal culinary tonic made by infusing herbs, roots and spices in apple cider vinegar. After being tended to daily for 3-4 weeks, the infusion is combined with a touch of natural sweetener such as honey or maple syrup. Each of our blends is thoughtfully crafted to harness powerful ingredients to connect you to natural food ingredients and generations of herbal folk wisdom.

No miracles. No quick fixes. Just thoughtfully crafted products inspired by herbs, botanicals, and traditional practices that encourage a more intentional approach to well-being.

Natural Food

Made with organic ingredients, like ginger, garlic, shallots, and spicy peppers--healthy food that is valued in traditional folk preparations for their warming, grounding presence.
