Ingredients:
1 cup apple cider vinegar (organic and raw)
1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger
1 tablespoon fresh grated turmeric
1 cinnamon stick or 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
5-6 whole cloves
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or adjust to taste)
Juice of 1 lemon (freshly squeezed)
2 tablespoons raw honey (local honey preferred)
Optional: 1 garlic clove (crushed, for an extra boost)
Directions:
In a clean glass jar (preferably a mason jar), combine all the ingredients: apple cider vinegar, grated ginger, grated turmeric, cinnamon, cloves, cayenne pepper, lemon juice, and raw honey.
Stir everything together thoroughly to ensure the honey dissolves into the vinegar. If you're using garlic, add it in now.
Seal the jar tightly and place it in a cool, dark place for about 1-2 weeks to allow the ingredients to infuse.
Shake the jar once a day to help mix the contents.
After 1-2 weeks, strain the liquid into a clean bottle, discarding the solids. You can store the remaining solids for later use in cooking or as compost.
Your master tonic shots are now ready! Keep it refrigerated.
Serving and Storage Tips:
Serving Size: Start with a small shot (1-2 tablespoons) daily, preferably in the morning on an empty stomach, to maximize the health benefits.
Storage: Store the tonic in the refrigerator to preserve its potency. It can last for up to 6 months, so feel free to make large batches and enjoy the benefits for months to come.
Shake Well: Since the ingredients can separate, always shake the tonic before serving to mix the solids that may have settled at the bottom.
