Your recipe can be modified based on what you have and you can add more or less of these ingredients to change the flavor to what you might like

You’ll need a large mason jar

-1/2 red onion chopped

-1 jalapeño chopped

-1 lemon chopped

-1 orange chopped

-10 cloves garlic chopped

-few sprigs fresh Rosemary

-handful black peppercorn 

-1 T turmeric

-1 T cayenne pepper

-1/2 C fresh ginger grated 

-fill jar with apple cider vinegar so all ingredients are covered and then a little above that

If using a metal lid be sure to put some parchment paper on before the lid. Let this sit in a cool dry place to steep for 3-6 weeks. Shake once daily. After the steeping period strain out pulp, add honey to taste, and store in a cool dry place for up to 6 months or in the fridge for up to 18 months. 

This is NOT for children under 1 due to the honey, and due to the spice not for young children.

This can be taken plain, diluted in some water, added to soups, made into salad dressing, and can be a fun creative gift!
