🍯 Instructions
- Peel and chop the onion, ginger, garlic, and pineapple.
- Juice the lemon and discard seeds.
- Place all ingredients in a high-powered blender: lemon juice, chopped produce, turmeric, black pepper, cayenne, honey, and apple cider vinegar.
- Blend on high until the mixture becomes smooth and thick.
- Optional: Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth if you prefer a smoother elixir.
🧊 Storage & Usage
- Dosage: Take 1 tablespoon, 3 times daily, or more during acute illness.
- Storage: Store in a glass jar with a lid in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.
- Shake or stir before each use if not strained—settling is natural.
🌿 Health Notes
- Ginger and garlic offer powerful anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial effects.
- Turmeric is supported by black pepper to increase its bioavailability.
- Manuka honey has antibacterial properties, especially when high MGO levels are used.
- Pineapple adds natural sweetness and contains bromelain, an enzyme linked to reduced inflammation.
💡 Tips
- Use less ACV if you’re using store-bought (it’s typically sharper than homemade).
- Adjust spice levels by reducing cayenne if you’re sensitive, or add more for a fiery kick.
- This tonic is best taken raw and not heated, to preserve the natural enzymes and immune-boosting compounds.
