Winter Tonic
This is Nature's Antibiotic, Antifungal, Antiviral and Antiparasitical medicine.
It is also delicious!
Fill a glass jar with chopped garlic, onion, horseradish, ginger, turmeric, chillies (if tolerated), with the addition of citrus, rosemary, sage and thyme. Use any of these that you can find.
Then fill the jar with good quality apple cider vinegar.
Allow to steep for 2-6 weeks, shaking gently daily if possible (and talking to it too).
Strain and warm the vinegar slightly, and dissolve some honey to taste. Do not heat the honey beyond just enough to let it dissolve in the vinegar. Store in the fridge.
Take 1 dessertspoonful of this every day throughout winter as a preventative, and more (several spoonfuls) if you get sick. it also makes a wonderful base for a salad dressing.
