Immune-Boosting Tonic – Fire Cider Recipe

Fire Cider can be used year-round but is best taken as a preventative tonic during cold and flu season for its immune-boosting health benefits. It can be used as a salad dressing, added to soup, taken straight up (1 tablespoon), or diluted in water or another beverage of choice.
