Ingredients

½ cup ginger root grated
½ cup horseradish root grated
1 yellow onion chopped
10 cloves garlic crushed or chopped
2 jalapeño pepper chopped
1 lemon zest and juice
apple cider vinegar

Instructions

Dice, peel and chop all ingredients into small pieces and toss into a bowl. (If you've never grated fresh horseradish, it can be intense!)
Mix it all together and scoop into a quart-sized mason jar.
Pour apple cider vinegar on top of all ingredients until completely submerged.
Cover with an airtight lid. (You can place a piece of parchment paper under the lid to keep the vinegar from touching the metal, or use a plastic lid if you have one.)
Shake well.
Store in a dark, cool place for a month (like the back of a pantry) and shake every few days.
After a month, pour contents through a sieve to separate the liquid from the solids.
Pour the liquid that went through the sieve in a sterilized clean jar in the fridge. When you feel the onset of a tickly throat, congestion, cough— take a shot glass full of this a few times a day.
