The other day I woke
up with The Drip. You know that little indication of something brewing that
doesn’t belong. A little bit of stress, not sleeping a ton, and the shift in
the weather and I’m a sitting duck for my first cold of the season. But, not to
worry, this Herbmama is prepared. I’ve still got some Coyote Cider left over
from last year. Along with vowing to take better care of myself, I’ve been
treating myself to a glass of Coyote Tea each morning.
When the weather
starts to get a bit chilly, the warming herbs beg to be made into potions. I
can’t seem to get enough cinnamon and these spicy friends below are now making
their way to the front of the spice rack as well. Fire cider and Four Thieves
Vinegars are delicious, easy, potions packed with a punch of healing power.
Used regularly, they help keep our immune systems strong and help to make us a
less than ideal host for those buggies that start looking for warm places to
live in the winter months.
This version of fire
cider, I call Coyote Cider, was inspired by a friend. Initially handcrafted for
her and delivered in a really old vintage Jim Beam bottle, it remains one of my
favorite herbcrafts to make. Here is a recipe to the closest proportions I can
guess. As always, measuring is not my forte.
Coyote Cider
4 TB grated
Horseradish
1 small onion
8 cloves garlic
2-3 thai chilies
1/2 c ginger
4 sprigs rosemary
4 sprigs thyme
2 sprigs oregano
Combine all in a quart
size jar, cover with apple cider vinegar. Cover with plastic lid. Let sit for
at least two weeks. Strain and use. In warm water with a little honey, this
Coyote Tea is sure to clear out whatever’s buggin’ ya.
