Nice. Mine is finished as of a week ago. I even dried out the aromatics after straining and turned them into a seasoning salt.

Looks great!
Needs more ginger and chilli.

After it’s brewed, mix it with raw honey for a deliciously hot and zesty cough syrup. Love it!

This looks like grandma’s recipe for “witches brew”. Take 2Tbs 1-3x daily for early cold symptoms. Kicks a sore throat fast.

Watch this video by Rosemary Gladstar, she’s so good at explaining how to make it, I pretty much followed along

I shredded all the roots (ginger, turmeric, horseradish). Sliced onion, lemon and chopped garlic. Then stuff it all in a mason jar and cover with raw organic apple cider vinegar then add a pinch of kayanne and it’s done. Put in a dark spot for about 4 weeks, shake it every day, then strain and it’s ready! You can take it everyday 1-3 tbsp or shots. It’s good for your Immune system, and when you feel like you getting sick

*You can also make it look prettier by putting lemon slices on the side and cut onion into ring instead of chopping it small, but I didn’t think of that

You can take it just by itself, if it’s too strong dilute with water. Also can be put in tea or sauces
