Hi all,
+ a warm welcome to the Autumn season ahead.
To honour the season change we have fired up the wood stove, begun preserving summers abundance, and have bathed in the forest while harvesting mushrooms. It's sure seeming like a good mushroom season ahead with all of the rain we have been having lately.
Anywho, we aren't here to keep you long, though we wanted to pop on and inspire you with a new recipe we came across from a book called Born to Run 2. In it they talk about a super tonic, the perfect Fall concoction to add to your morning routine.
So here it is.. The Amish Super Tonic..
4 cups water
1 cup grated ginger
2-3 chopped garlic cloves
1 chopped yellow onion
1 tbsp ground red pepper or fresh hot peppers
1 cup grated horseradish root
Apple cider vinegar
INSTRUCTIONS:
-Combine the water and ginger in a pan. Bring to a gentle boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 2-3 minutes.
-Pour the ginger waste into a half gallon jar (2 litres). Next add garlic, onion, red pepper and horseradish. Fill the jar to the top with apple cider vinegar.
-Give the contents a good stir and store in a cool, dark place. Stir the brew once a day while allowing it to age.
-After 2 weeks your tonic is ready. Strain into a clean jar and enjoy. Kind of.. :)
