1 cup of each: grated horseradish root; diced
& peeled garlic cloves; diced onion; grated ginger root; finely chopped HOT
peppers, without seeds(habanero/jalapeno, or similar)
32 oz. organic cider vinegar(organic is best
if you can get it)
Place all ingredients in blender and add
enough vinegar to be able to puree into a mash.
Pour mixture into large glass bowl, add remaining
vinegar and cover with lid. (you should have 1.5 quarts) I use my Pampered Chef
8 cup glass mixing bowl with lid and it works just great)
Shake or stir daily.
Let sit for 2-4 weeks, then strain through
unbleached coffee filter.
Bottle liquid in glass jar, and store in dark cupboard....this liquid is ready to
use....it gets better as it ages!
Now, put the reserved
'mash' back into the glass jar and add another 32 oz
bottle of vinegar and start the process all over again to get a second bottle of
Super Tonic.
Dosage; Drink 1 oz - 3 times daily if
you are coming down with a cold or flu. We put ours in a mug; add hot
water and honey to taste. But, if you're brave, you can just drink the tonic straight...drink, gargle,
swallow :)
As a daily preventative, put 1 Tbsp in a cup, add hot water and honey to taste.
