Ingredients

5 oz fresh ginger root sliced or chopped
3 oz fresh turmeric root sliced or chopped
5 oz horseradish root sliced or chopped
1 lime
2 lemons
1 orange
1 large onion
1 head garlic
1 jalapeno pepper
1 habanero pepper
few sprigs fresh rosemary
few sprigs fresh thyme
few sprigs fresh oregano
2 cinnamon sticks
2-3 star anise
6-8 whole cloves
10 whole black peppercorns
3 cups organic raw apple cider vinegar with the mother
raw manuka honey for serving, optional (or any raw honey)
pickle juice for serving, optional

Instructions

Start with a very clean 32 oz mason jar with a rubber or plastic lid. Alternatively you can use 2 quart size jars or 4 pint size jars.
Slice or chop all fruits and vegetables and place in the jar, packing tightly.
Add in herbs and spices. Jar should be very packed. If not, add in more fruits or vegetables.
Pour in the apple cider vinegar until it reaches the top of the jar and covers all ingredients. Seal the jar tightly with a rubber or plastic lid.
Shake the jar well to mix the ingredients. Store the jar in a cool, dark place for about 4-6 weeks. Remember to shake the jar every day to encourage the infusion of flavors.
After the fermentation period, strain the liquid through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean bowl or another jar, separating the liquid from the solids. Discard the solids and store in tightly sealed jars or airtight containers in the refrigerator.
Serve as a shot with raw Manuka honey or pickle juice, if desired. Take 2-3 shots per day as needed.
