For those of you who live in cold places or suffer from bronchitis and seasonal allergies, this tonic might be right up our alley...
Homemade Turmeric Fire Cider
1/4 cup horseradish, freshly grated
1/4 cup garlic, chopped
1/2 cup onion, chopped
1/4 cup ginger, freshly grated
1/4 cup turmeric root, freshly grated
Cayenne or the hot pepper of your choice, to taste... I used a pinch of my "Kitchen Sink" powder that was heavy on Bhuts and Scorpions
about 1 cup of raw apple cider vinegar (enough to cover all the ingredients)
Honey to taste
Combine all the ingredients except the honey and vinegar together in a pint jar. Cover with cider vinegar. Vinegar will corrode metal, so for this recipe or other vinegar tincture use a plastic lid, cork or ceramic top, or place a layer of waxed paper between the lid and the jar. Let the mixture sit for at least 4 weeks (Some folks let it sit for up to 6 months) then strain and sweeten to taste with honey.
A teaspoon is recommended every hour at the onset of sickness, and a tablespoon 3-5 times a day until symptoms have cleared. It's claimed that this concoction will clear congestion, stimulate circulation and boost the immune system.
