Fire Ciders
A Folk Remedy for Modern Times
Old Roots. A Little Fire.
Fire cider is an herbal culinary tonic made by infusing apple cider vinegar with roots, herbs, fruits, and plenty of spicy heat, then finishing it with a touch of natural sweetness from honey or maple syrup.
Rooted in generations of herbal folk wisdom, it brings together simple food ingredients in a preparation handed down and reimagined over time.
At Aerie Waters, we make ours slowly in small batches, allowing the ingredients time to steep before each batch is strained, pressed, and finished by hand. The result is bright, warming, complex—and very much alive with the character of the plants that went into it. No miracles. No quick fixes. Just good ingredients.
