Vampire Immune Elixir (aka. Fire Cider 😉)

A teaspoon a day of this powerful Vampire Immune Elixir (aka. Fire cider 😉) is all you need to help prevent the cold and flu, strengthen your immune system, and support detoxification.

This cider is loaded with garlic, an antibacterial powerhouse + ginger, garlic and jalapeño all help to heat and warm your body, detox your system and improve circulation.

Stimulating blood flow is important as this helps to flush toxins and waste through your body.

You’ll need to let this ferment for roughly 30 days to help increase the potency and being that this is an old folk remedy, you can pretty much use whatever herbs and spices you’d like. The fermentation process turns this elixir into a cold and flu fighting nutrition powerhouse!

Be sure to store it in a warm place (I put mine in the pantry) and left it for about a month.

Here’s what I included in mine:
— 1 lemon
— half an orange
— 1 onion chopped
— 3 garlic cloves
— hunk of fresh ginger
— 2 cinnamon sticks
— 1 bunch of fresh rosemary
— 1 Jalapeño
— 2 heaping tbsp raw honey (add more after once you’ve finished fermenting it)
— 1 bottle ACV

Other ingredients you can add in – turmeric, ground spices if you don’t have them fresh, horseradish, peppercorns

After you’ve fermented it for 30 days, strain it, then take 1-2 tsps daily for immune health 👌You can store it in the fridge or keep in the cupboard.

Here’s how each ingredient in this recipe contributes to health benefits:

Onion
Onions are high in antioxidants and have antibacterial and antiviral properties, which can support immune health. They also contain sulfur compounds that promote detoxification.

Garlic
Garlic is packed with compounds like allicin, which has strong immune-boosting, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory effects. It may help fight colds, reduce blood pressure, and improve cholesterol levels.

Ginger
Ginger is widely known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, which can help soothe sore throats, aid digestion, and reduce nausea.

Cinnamon Sticks

Fresh Rosemary
Rosemary is a potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory herb that supports respiratory and immune health. It may also improve circulation and memory.

Jalapeño
Jalapeños add capsaicin, which can boost metabolism, relieve pain, and has anti-inflammatory effects. Spicy foods can help to clear sinuses and aid in respiratory health.

Optional Ingredients
