Peel & chop about 1/3 lb fresh turmeric root & 1/3 lb fresh ginger root. Place them in a pot with 2 quarts of water and 1.5 teaspoons ground turmeric. Bring to a boil, then turn off the heat and cover the pot. Let the pot sit, ideally, in the fridge overnight. The next day, strain out the turmeric and ginger and add the juice of one lemon, 3/4 cup apple cider vinegar and 2/3 cup honey (you can use less if you want it less sweet). You may need to warm the tonic up a bit to dissolve the honey. Pour into jars and keep in the fridge.
