WINTER

This season is a time for rest and reflection with recipes for warmth and comfort.

Fire cider

My fire cider recipe! I swear wholeheartedly by this recipe and its so so wonderful to have on the onset of a cold, you can also have during a cold and its so wondeful.  1 teaspoon neat (or in a cup of hot water). If you are prone to any inflammatory disorders (aka pitta imbalances) I would avoid and follow the alternative recipe instead.

1 lime or lemon sliced

1 Orange sliced

7 oz Horseradish

7oz Fresh Ginger
