Paleo Fire Cider Tonic

This fiery, fermented tonic is the kind of thing that makes you feel like you're doing something genuinely good for yourself — because you are. Raw horseradish, fresh ginger, turmeric root, garlic, citrus zest, and cayenne all steep together in raw apple cider vinegar for two weeks, building a deeply complex, pungent, and warming liquid that's hard to describe until you've tried it. A stir of raw honey at the end softens the sharp edges just enough without tipping it into sweetness. Every single ingredient here is whole, unprocessed, and exactly the kind of thing that fits naturally into an ancestral eating approach — no fillers, no additives, nothing to second-guess on a label. The two-week steeping process does most of the work for you; a daily shake is all the effort required. Once strained and bottled, it keeps in the refrigerator for up to six months, so one batch goes a long way. Take a small shot straight, splash it into sparkling water, or drizzle it over roasted vegetables — however you use it, this tonic earns its place in the fridge.
