Would you happen to still have the link for that recipe, so lucky?

I took 2 small bottles of my FCT over to my moms on our last "civilized" visit, for the family to try. Didn't really expect much of a good reception on it. Well, she stopped by today to drop of some soil amendments for my garden and let me know that my BIL loves it (and wishes it was hotter) and that she and my dad have been taking it regularly!

Guess what they're getting for Christmas this year!

Dawn, I just now read your comment asking for the link. I'm sorry, I have no idea where I saw it. I think I made my fire cider in October; really can't remember. Can't believe I didn't put a date on it. Well, it must be ready about now.

I just found another name for our fire cider tonic recipe on a WAPF-type forum; there it is called Master Tonic. Looks just like ours. BTW, I mixed up some tonic on September 3. I finally got it out this morning and tried it. Wow! I used rosemary and sage in my tonic, as well as the other ingredients. You can taste the rosemary. Not bad, but just different.
This other writer said to save and use the left over ingredients in cooked meat recipes. I bet it would really be good in a pork or beef pot roast.

We have discovered a good way to take this Make a "tea" by putting 1 Tbsp. of tonic, 1 Tbsp. of honey, and 1/2 tsp. of cinnamon in a cup. Fill with HOT water. Stir well, and drink. It really tastes very good. An added benefit, besides the immune boost, is that it seems to be giving me less of an appetite! Maybe I'll finally lose some weight

I'm going to make a new thread, but cinnamon and honey is supposed to combat obesity as well as a host of other problems, so it makes since that you don't feel as hungry.

Hi City Life, A couple of years ago you were kind enough to send me some kefir grains. I just wanted to let you know that they are still going strong and we are really enjoying the milk kefir every day. I have "payed it forward" a few times by giving the grains to others. Hope you are doing well, love reading about all of your animals. We have 19 layer hens and 19 1 week old meat birds. They are all enjoying the whey from the kefir!! Bless you and yours and again thanks for your kindness!!
