  Fire Cider has been made for centuries, if not much longer. It isn't really a tincture and there is a word for what it is, but I can't think of it right now so I will just call it a potion. It is supposed to boost the immune system, help with digestion, ease colds and keep you warm on those cold days of winter.  I never make it exactly the same, but there are key ingredients I use every time. Apple cider vinegar is the main ingredient. I always use organic unfiltered. The other key ingredients are horseradish, garlic, onion, peel and juice of a citrus fruit and some sort of hot pepper powder.   I always use horseradish root, but apparently there is also a powdered form that can be used. Normally I buy it on the internet and it is slightly expensive, but you don't need much and can freeze the rest for future use. This year I used orange peel and juice instead of lime for something new. Of course I used NM red Chile powder!  Other ingredients I added were ginger, turmeric,

  I just realized #3 will be on the way soon and I hadn't said anything about #2! I was as impressed with the second box as I was with the first! Since I have already put it away I will just mention a few of my favorite things from it!  First off, I loved the seasonal journal again! So much great stuff in it!  Then there was this adorable set of mini gemstone carvings! The aventurine (I think) mushroom was my favorite, the shapes are standard, but the gemstone is random.  I love succulents and was happy with the Hen and Chicks plant which is one of my favorites!  I loved how adorable it was when I transplanted it into the pot and put it in the macrame hanger that were included with the box!  I know I have mentioned before how much I love the Tamed Wild card decks and this was no exception. Sure like a lot of them, this could be put into book form, but it is just cooler as a card deck, imo. This box included the Wild Moon deck! It contains 28 cards, one for each phase of the moon. O
