Directions for making your tonic
Place dried leaves in a pot of cold water (approx 3 cups) and bring to a boil for 10-20 minutes. Take off heat and leave to cool for an hour or so.
While cooling, cut lemons into quarters and place in a 1 litre glass jar, adding apple cider vinegar, ginger and the dried leaf infusion (including leaves).
Shake well, place lid on firmly and store in fridge to infuse for one week.
Strain everything into a clean glass jar and add honey.
It’s ready!
Store your tonic in a closed glass jar in the fridge and take 1-2 tablespoons a day.
