I'd have already tried this if I had ginger in the house. I'm actually sick right now.
Sorry to hear 15, I made 3 batches of Fiery Cider this fall, and really love it for a cold, or daily tonic - it takes about 4 weeks to make, so won?t help you now.
1/2 c fresh ginger root, peeled and cut into small cubes
1/2 c fresh horseradish root, peeled and cut into small cubes
1/4 c fresh turmeric root cut into slices
1/2 c onion - chopped
10 garlic cloves - chopped
1 tablespoon honey
Juice of one lemon
Hot peppers to taste - recipe calls for 1/2 cup jalape?os but I cant handle that much
Raw apple cider vinegar - I like to use Bragg, raw, unfiltered with the mother
Put all ingredients in a quart jar and add vinegar leaving one inch of headspace.
Put in a weight to keep ingredients under the vinegar, cover tightly and let infuse at least 4 weeks. Shake daily, and open to release gasses a couple times a week. When ready, strain and store the liquid in airtight container and refrigerate.
I gave 1/2 pint jars of this for Christmas presents and it?s had rave reviews - my best friend uses it in her barbecue sauce.
