An old herbal remedy that uses the germ-fighting properties of onion, garlic, ginger, and herbs. plus vinegar and raw honey for an immune boosting and nourishing drink with a little kick.
Place onion, garlic, ginger, and echinacea root, organge, and jalapeño if using in a quart size mason jar. Make sure garlic is at the bottom and completely submerged.
Add enough apple cider vinegar to cover the ingredients. Use a fermentation weight to make sure all ingredients are below the liquid level.
Cap tightly and leave in the jar for 2-3 weeks, preferably in a sunny or slightly warm place.
After 2-3 weeks, strain and discard the herbs.
After straining, measure the apple cider vinegar left and mix it with an equal amount of raw honey and add the cayenne pepper.
Store in the refrigerator and take 1 teaspoon as needed daily or when illness strikes. I’ve taken as much as 1 teaspoon an hour during illness until I felt better.
Notes
Don't worry about the garlic turning green -- it's a normal reaction for garlic immersed in an acid.
