What is the Kootenay Fire Cider Kit?

The Kootenay Fire Cider Kit is a traditional folk remedy starter pack containing a blend of spicy, circulation-boosting herbs and roots. This is a non-alcoholic herbal vinegar kit: simply add your own apple cider vinegar to these pre-measured dry ingredients to create a potent, warming vinegar-based tonic used to support digestion and seasonal wellness.

I'm Sarah, and I wild-harvest juniper berries, Oregon grape root, and usnea lichen from pristine Kootenay forests. Each ingredient is gathered with respect for the ecosystem, following ethical wildcrafting practices. This kit brings together the forest's most robust immune supporters, hand-measured and packaged with care.

Meet your new favourite feisty, forest-foraged friend. We've bottled up the bold, unapologetic spirit of a British Columbia autumn and put it in a kit—because sometimes you need a little fire to handle the drizzle. This isn't your average, polite herbal tea. This is a Backcountry Brawler: a sharp, tangy, spicy-sweet herbal vinegar tonic that's been a mainstay of herbal medicine cabinets for generations. We've given it a distinct Kootenay twist by packing it with wild ingredients that don't shy away from a flavour fight.

What's In The Ring (The Ingredients):

We've gathered a real dream team of the forest's most robust characters: Dried Wild Aronia & Rosehips: The tart-talking twins, packed with antioxidants and a vitamin C punch. Dried Wild and responsibly cultivated Oregon Grape Root: The bitter boss, bringing a golden-yellow intensity and earthy depth. Dried Organic Ginger Root: The spicy instigator, here to turn up the heat and get things moving. Dried Wild Juniper Berries: The aromatic sage, adding a crisp, piney, "I-just-walked-through-an-evergreen-forest" freshness. Dried Wild Usnea Lichen: The silent, stalwart guardian, a prized boreal forest immune supporter, hanging around like a wise old beard on a hemlock tree.

How It Works (The Fine Print & Fun):

Heads up! This is a dry ingredient DIY kit. This product does not contain alcohol and is not an alcoholic beverage. Making the tonic is a simple, rewarding process. You Provide: apple cider vinegar, honey (if desired), a jar, and a dash of patience. We Provide: the wild, organic goods and easy instructions. Just steep the ingredients in apple cider vinegar, infuse for at least 2 weeks, strain, sweeten if you like, and boom—you've just created your own powerful, non-alcoholic wellness vinegar. It's kitchen witchery at its most satisfying.

This kit produces approximately 500 ml of finished herbal vinegar (“fire cider” style). The finished preparation is a vinegar-based culinary and wellness tonic, not a beer, wine, or hard cider.
