The cold and flu season may be nearly over, but if you think you want a cure-all tonic around the house for the “just in case” days, move over anything you can buy.
Make this baby.
It will knock your socks off.
In fact, one morning during the fermentation process, I chose to open the glass jar just for a little sniff. I’m not sure if that was a mistake, or a little extra dose of the cure-all.
I about stroked.
It’s fragrant. It’s pungent. And, I think it actually will kill just about anything that even thinks its going to attack your little system.
HANDLE with CARE!
