🯠The 7-Day Super Tonic (Honey, Ginger & Strawberry Infusion)
Prep time: 15 minutes Infusion time: 7 days Yield: 1 large glass jar (~500ml)
📋 Ingredients
- 1 medium yellow or red onion (finely diced or sliced)
- 1 whole bulb of garlic (cloves peeled, lightly crushed, or chopped)
- 1 piece fresh ginger (~2 inches / 5 cm, peeled and finely grated)
- 6–8 fresh strawberries (washed, dried thoroughly, and diced)
- 1 to 1.5 cups raw organic honey (enough to completely submerge all solid ingredients)
🥣 Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prep the Jar: Wash and thoroughly dry a clean, airtight glass jar. Ensure no residual water remains inside to prevent unwanted mold during fermentation.
- Layer the Ingredients:
- Add the diced onions, crushed garlic, and grated ginger into the bottom of the jar.
- Add the diced strawberries on top.
- Add the Honey: Pour raw honey slowly over the mixture until all ingredients are completely submerged. Use a clean spoon or chopstick to stir gently and release any trapped air bubbles.
- Seal & Rest (Days 1–7):
- Seal the lid securely and store the jar in a cool, dark place (pantry or cupboard) away from direct sunlight.
- Daily check: Once a day, loosen the lid briefly to “burp” the jar (release natural fermentation gas), give it a quick swirl/shake, and retighten.
- Ready to Use (Day 7 Onward): After 7 full days, the natural juices from the fruit, onion, and garlic will blend into a liquid syrup with the honey.
🥄 How to Use
- Daily Wellness Dose: Take 1 teaspoon each morning on an empty stomach starting from Day 7.
- Warm Tonic Option: Stir 1 teaspoon into a cup of warm (not boiling) water or herbal tea.
- Storage: Keep refrigerated after Day 7 to slow down fermentation; consumes well for up to 2–3 months.
