A Favorite Raw Herbal Tonic ( ginger, honey, lemon, apple cider vinegar )

By

( Raw Ginger, Raw Apple Cider Vinegar, Fresh Lemons, and Raw Honey )
~ Ingredients are know to be anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, an immune booster, an allergy reliever, and an  energy drink.

Ingredients:

Raw apple cider vinegar,  unpasteurized ( we like Bragg’s brand, in the glass bottle )
Raw honey ( preferably local if you want it to be more effective in relieving seasonal allergies )
Raw fresh ginger ( peeled )
Freshly squeezed lemons
Filtered water ( preferably reverse osmosis )

Proportions are up to your taste. Just blend all the ingredients together in a powerful blender like a Vitamix. Strain the puree through a fine strainer and store in a glass jar in the refrigerator. I usually make a quart at a time and use it up within 3 to 4 days, if not sooner. As you blend the ingredients, just keep taste testing the tonic , till you get it to your liking. Add a little more of this and that as you go along. We like ours with a kick so we use ginger liberally.  It’s like strong ginger beer lemonade.  Tart, sweet, & spicy. It makes a refreshing drink , especially on hot summer days.

Serve chilled in shot glasses as a non-alcoholic apertif. Add to freshly squeezed juice and smoothies. Use as a base for salad dressings. It makes a great natural cough/cold syrup, if made in stronger concentration.I like having this in the refrigerator at all times.
