Fire
Cider - Something Olde / Something
New
Our most popular product for many years has been “Fire Cider”,
an apple
cider vinegar and honey-based tonic. It is a Hot, Sweet, Sour
Experience
used most frequently for winter season illness but also popular
year-round as a mood lifter, mover of Chi, digestive aid, health tonic
and more.
Fire Cider
is a long-time traditional herbal remedy made and
used by
many folks and herbalists. It gained extra attention a few years ago
when it was trademarked by a private company who sought to keep anyone
else from using the name “Fire
Cider”. This created a huge furor in the
herbal community as we were being deprived of a common name for a
common remedy. Years later after lawsuits and a trial, the trademark
has recently been canceled and the name “Fire Cider” can be
freely used
by anyone.
To celebrate this tremendous victory, DWB has created a
special, limited edition of Fire Cider, Campfire Cider,
featuring smoked
Cayenne, as well as all the usual ingredients in our original
Classic Fire Cider.
Garlic,
Ginger, Horseradish, Astragalus, Burdock,
Hawthorne. It is certain to produce... Easy Heat Fading into a Slow
Burn.... We think you'll agree it is...... Smoky, Intriguing,
Mysterious... and delicious!
Don’t worry - our olde standby, Classic Fire Cider, is
still available.
Coincident with the Federal Court decision to free Fire Cider
from trademark restriction, is the publication of a new book...
Fire
Cider!
101 Zesty Recipes
for Health-Boosting Remedies made with Apple Cider
Vinegar by Rosemary Gladstar and 75 herbalist contributors, including
Desert Woman Monica Rude who has been bringing it to you since 1999!
The book includes recipes for making Fire Cider and recipes for using
it medicinally and in food. Visit...
Special thanks to The Fire Cider 3 & Rosemary Gladstar for
spearheading the campaign to free Fire Cider from trademark &
fighting the Good Fight. To learn the details of this important victory

Attention
writers & writers of the future:
We invite you to a transformational
writing retreat. Need a retreat from your daily routine to a place
where you can just focus on your writing ? I attended this writing
retreat last summer & it was, indeed, transformational.There was
plenty of time for writing, contemplation, reading, wandering by the
lovely Dolores River; whatever I needed to do was supported by the
relaxed structure Cassandra created.

Dear
Friends,
It's Fire Cider
Season and, yes, the Fire Cider is
flowing!
We
started making this traditional herbal remedy back in 1999 & it's
more popular than ever. We grow our own Cayenne so it's always fresh
& spicy. Effective & best-tasting – that's our goal.
Can't wait? Fire Cider is "just a click away!"
And, oh, did I mention our fabulous and
limited edition Campfire Cider?
I did? Well, no harm!
And thank you for your patronage & support!
Best Wishes,
Monica
Rude
This is one way to dry cayenne
pepper.
Cut off the
stem, split down to
the tip, remove seeds and ribs and let them dry in a sunny window. The
rest of the seeds will drop off when dry. This way there is no mold
inside. Wash the gloves and scissors in baking soda water. This method
is for those who want the flavor without so much heat. For more heat,
leave in the seeds. Store in an airtight container in a cool dark
place. Use within a year.
Thanks to Jeanie McLerie for the photo.
