Steps
Layer prepared ingredients into a clean 1/2 gallon glass jar then cover them with the apple cider vinegar.
Cover the jar with a lid and let sit at room temperature out of the sun for 2 weeks.
Strain liquid into a bowl, pressing the ingredients with the back of a spoon to release as much liquid as possible, and discard everything else.
Pour the strained liquid into a clean quart jar.
Optionally sweeten the fire cider to taste with raw honey or maple syrup for a vegan-friendly version.
Cover the jar with a lid and store at room temperature out of the sun for up to 6 months.
