Fire Cider. Cold cure. YUCK!

[COUNTRY GIRL]

A local small town nurse came up with this one, I wonder if it works. She states this recipie sounds a little drastic, but it's effective to ward off nasty colds.

It sounds like it would ward off anything, including Vampires!

FIRE CIDER

2 finely chopped onions
1 finely chopped whole head of garlic (all cloves)
1/3 cup finely chopped horseradish
4 tablespoons grated fresh ginger

Cover all with apple cider vinegar in a quart jar, cap and keep in a warm spot for 4 weeks. Strain. For each cup of liquid, add 1 cup of honey and a pinch of cayenne to taste.

At the first sign of a cold, take 1 teaspoon every hour until cold symptoms are relieved.

let me know if anyone has tried this or is brave enough to try it. Sounds YUCKY, but I guess all cold medicines are .

Actually CG, this WILL work...you'll be so sick from this concoction you won't know you have a cold!

I was really wondering if this might work so, to follow Gypsy's methodology and do a little research, here's what I found:

I just might have to try this!

There is no way I'm snorting the stuff!

Hmmmm maybe it works, if you can get it down without yacking that is?

You posted it CG! I'm calling for a vote! The motion has been made, seconded, and approved that you mix up a batch and report to the Group on it's effectiveness!

Fire cider - I read this and guess I got confused - maybe I'm thinking of Fire Water (That works and I'm positive it would taste better.)

And seeing where you're from there's no doubt you are refferring to that corn-based Fire Water

Yes indeedy..... I prefer the peach-flavored version if it's made right.

Yep.
Sounds pretty much like Granny Clampitt's cure for the common cold...

Take a dose 3 times a day for 2 weeks and your cold is gone!

Or....you could NOT take a dose 3 times a day for two weeks and your cold will be gone!
