Nomustard (Fire Cider)

This is not a cooking recipe as such, but a recipe for a cure-all for cold and flu-like symptoms.

The name "Nomustard" came from a very personal experience. My daughter has been feeling the effect of winter over the past few months. Ashlyn and I would then tell her to go have some of the "yellow stuff" in the jar which should boost her system with one dosage. She protestingly drank it as it has a strong taste, but she obediently went ahead.

After having it for 3 days in a row on two separate occasions, she kept saying that it actually makes her feel worse and upsets her stomach. We really thought that we should take her to a doctor as something more serious is happening.

Well, the last time she took it she turned the bottle around and saw that the label was brand new on the bottle and it didn't look like a reused bottle. She read the label, "English Mustard". She came to us and asked whether we put the "concoction" in a new bottle. That is when we realized that she had finished a new bottle of English mustard over the last 3 months which was causing her upset stomach and not helping her flu symptoms. 🥴

So, the bottle is now labelled "Nomustard" and she loves the "new" flavour of our "medicine". 🤣

Ingredients

150g peeled garlic
150g peeled ginger
2 Tbsp powdered Turmeric
200ml Organic Apple Cider Vinegar
200g Manuka Honey

Instructions

Blend all the ingredients in a high-speed blender until smooth.

Transfer the mixture to a sterilized container and store it in the refrigerator. It will keep for up to 6 months.

Directions to Use

Shake well before each use.

Take 1 heaped teaspoon at the first sign of a cold, and then morning and evening until you feel better. If taken early enough, the cold should not progress after the first dosage.

For easier consumption, dissolve it in 50ml of milk. Be cautious not to use too much milk, as it may require consuming more liquid to ingest it all.
