Elixir
A "fire cider"-style tonic — garlic, ginger, and horseradish infused in vinegar — a punchy, traditional daily tonic taken in small amounts.
What you'll need
- 1/4 cup grated ginger
- 1/4 cup grated horseradish
- 4 cloves garlic, crushed
- 2 cups apple cider vinegar
- 2 tbsp honey
Steps
- Combine ginger, horseradish, and garlic in a jar.
- Pour in vinegar to fully cover, seal, and let infuse 2–4 weeks in a cool, dark spot.
- Strain and stir in honey.
- Take 1 tbsp daily as a tonic.
Tip: It's intense — dilute with a little water if the straight vinegar tonic is too strong to take neat.
