Have you ever tried Fire Cider? If your answer is no… then it’s definitely time!
Fire Cider is a powerful, time-honored tonic packed with the goodness of plants, spices, herbs, vegetables, and apple cider vinegar — all working together to support vitality and resilience.
I was first introduced to Fire Cider by my dear friend Ginger Andro, and later, my good friend Li Wong gifted me the wonderful Rosemary Gladstar Fire Cider book. Let me tell you during the pandemic, a spoonful a day truly helped me stay healthy and keep my immunity strong.
This year, I decided to create my own Egyptian-inspired version 🌺🧄🍊
