Ingredients
- 3 ounces horseradish root about 1/2 cup fresh, peeled and diced small or 1 cup prepared horseradish (no sugar
- 2 ounces fresh ginger root about 8 inches or 1/2 cup, peeled and diced small or 2 tablespoons ground ginger
- 4 ounces fresh turmeric root about 4 inches or 1/4 cup, peeled and diced small or 4 teaspoons turmeric powder
- 1 yellow onion remove the paper but try to keep all the layers, medium to large, diced small
- 1 bulb garlic see notes in article, California, peeled and diced small
- 1 orange do NOT peel, large, sliced then quartered
- 1 lemon do NOT peel, sliced then quartered
- 1 to 2 habanero pepper discard stem but do NOT remove seeds, diced small
- ¼ cup parsley fresh, roughly chopped
- 10 mint fresh leaves, whole
- 8 oregano fresh leaves
- 4 prigs rosemary fresh, whole
- 2 prigs thyme fresh, whole
- 6 pods star anise
- 3 ticks ceylon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon clove the spice, not garlic in this case, whole
- 2 teaspoons black peppercorns
- 16 to 24 ounces apple cider vinegar with the mother, raw
After 4 to 6 Weeks
- ¼ cup baobab powder
- ¼ cup honey optional, raw, local
- stevia optional, or other on-plan sweetener, to taste
Instructions
- Add all of the ingredients except the vinegar, baobab, honey, and sweetener to the sterilized jar(s) (add equal amounts if using the two quart jars). Pack it down if you need to make it fit.
- Pour in the raw apple cider vinegar a little at a time, allowing it to fill in between everything. Add enough to completely submerge everything (some things might float, that's okay).
- Tap the jar on the counter a few times and run a rubber or plastic spatula (no metal) along the inside edges of the jar to remove as many air bubbles as possible.
- Cut a piece of waxed paper to cover the mouth of each jar then tightly put on the two-piece mason jar lid to secure it on. The waxed paper will prevent the vinegar from corroding the lid.
- Put the jar(s) somewhere out of direct sunlight for about 4 to 6 weeks, shaking it once a day (maybe set an alarm on your phone so you don't forget).
After 4 to 6 Weeks
- Once the 4 to 6 weeks are up, open the jar (CAUTION: it may burn your eyes) and strain the mixture into a fresh, sterilized mason jar with a piece of muslin or cheesecloth. Tie the "tails" of the cloth around a wooden spoon and set it across the top of the jar. Let it sit and drip for about 45 minutes (try to get a jar big enough that the cloth isn't hanging in it or move the cloth from jar to jar until it isn't).
- Squeeze the cheesecloth until all the goodness is out of the plants (CAUTION: you probably want to wear rubber or latex gloves while doing this so the burning doesn't happen to your hands then later your face/eyes/nose when you touch them). Discard, compost, or otherwise use the spent the veggies, fruits, herbs, and spices.
- Mix in the baobab then add the honey and as much sweetener as you'd like (to taste).
- Put a fresh piece of waxed paper over the jar's opening and put the lid on tightly. Store in a cool, dark place for up to 6 months or in the refrigerator for up to one year.
To Use
- Shake before taking. Drink about 1 tablespoon a day to keep immunity boosted or about 2 tablespoons twice a day if you feel a sickness starting. If desired, you can dilute it in some water or unsweetened almond milk.
