RAW Fire Cider Tonic Recipe

Now more than ever, people are looking further afield for ways to bolster their natural immunity. As well as leading a healthy lifestyle, there’s something to be said for looking to nature’s larder to give us a little more peace of mind when we step outside.

Apple Cider Vinegar is a wonder ingredient, and has a reputation that transcends the status of other pantry vinegars. The very need to abbreviate its name goes to show how it has reached the dizzying heights of holy grail status amongst health gurus and foodies alike.

Aside from the fact that ACV is made from apple, while other vinegars might be made from grapes, grains or a variety of different bases, the difference lies within the ‘mother’. Organic, unpasteurised vinegars contain this cloudy, web-like substance, while more mainstream vinegars are pasteurised and filtered to remove it.

The bacteria present in the ‘mother’ are what our guts love, and precisely what makes ACV excellent for boosting our natural immunity, as well as tasting delicious too. Don’t just take our word for it though, studies have shown that the difference between raw and pasteurized ACV is huge! Firstly, in flavour; and many agree ours brags the perfect tang, including the judges at the Great Taste Awards, and secondly for its health benefits!

A study reviewing years of quality research revealed that ACV:
- Can reduce blood glucose levels and cholesterol
- Is a strong antioxidant
- Has anticancer properties
- Can reduce fatigue
- Can help protect against osteoporosis

A plethora of uses deserves a plethora of flavours. That thought sparked an idea – could we superboost ACV’s benefits by pairing it with other superfoods? Before long, we unveiled a new generation of ACV: our original organic, unpasteurised vinegar in 2 exciting flavour infusions to sit alongside our Original ACV.
