  • 1/2 small onion, chopped

  • 1 tbsp black peppercorns optional
  • 1 tbsp turmeric powder optional, extra love but dont skip the root
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper optional
  • 1 stick cinnamon optional
  • 2-3 cups organic apple cider vinegar enough to cover all food completely
  • 1/4 cup raw organic local honey add after 30 days

Instructions

  • prepare all ingredients into jar except raw honey. you can try a quart depending on how small you chop but I have found that a 1.5 liter glass jar (50 oz) was the best size to work for me
  • cover with apple cider vinegar - if using 50 oz 3 cups is about right.
  • seal with air tight lid and store in dark cool place for one month. TIP: to keep lid from corroding add a piece of parchment paper between glass rim and lid
  • shake tonic daily.
  • after one month, strain the pulp so you get a clean vinegar in a new clean glass jar.
  • add honey to the infused vinegar and stir until mixed well
  • store in fridge until ready to use. It can keep for months!

Notes

Dosage: 1-2 tablespoons every 3-4 hours when feeling ill until symptoms go away. You can also take as a preventative as well. 
 
Enjoy!
