khepri fire cider
A warming botanical tonic formulated for vitality and seasonal resilience
Khepri Fire Cider is a handcrafted botanical tonic, made in small batches for a vivid balance of warmth, citrus, and savory depth. Fresh ginger and turmeric bring an earthy, peppery foundation, joined by garlic and local onion for a robust, rounded body. Lemon peel, makrut lime leaves, and lemongrass layer bright, fragrant citrus notes over cinnamon’s gentle sweetness, while Taiwan’s aromatic makauy (馬告, Litsea cubeba) adds a distinctive mountain-pepper character.
The botanicals steep slowly in apple cider vinegar, drawing out their tangy, aromatic flavors. After straining, Taiwanese wild honey softens the sharpness and brings the blend into balance. The finished tonic is lively and tart on the palate, followed by warming spice and a lingering citrus-herbal finish.
Inspired by traditional fire cider preparations and the changing seasons, Khepri is crafted as a flavorful botanical tonic for a seasonal ritual. Enjoy a small splash diluted in warm water, whisk it into vinaigrettes, or use it to brighten soups, broths, marinades, and roasted vegetables. Its bold, aromatic profile brings a little seasonal warmth and vitality to everyday meals.
about the name
The name Khepri comes from ancient Egyptian and is closely linked to the scarab beetle, which Egyptians saw as a symbol of the sun’s emergence at dawn. Khepri was the god of the rising sun, representing the daily renewal of light and life. His name is related to kheper, meaning “to come into being” or “to become,” and so also carries ideas of creation, transformation, and renewal.
