Ginger Tonic

(recipe, Robert Badgett)

Introduction

This is easy to make and very satisfying to drink. Nutritious, too!

Ingredients

1. ¾ cup ginger, peeled and finely chopped or grated
2. ½ cup fresh lime juice
3. ¼ to ½ cup rapadura (natural organic sugar)
4. 2 tsp. sea salt
5. ¼ cup whey or kefir grains
6. 2 qt. filtered water

Steps

1. Scrape off peel of ginger. Grate the big chunks. Finely chop the small chunks. Use dull side of paring knife or a spoon to scrape off peel.
2. Add all ingredients to jar and allow to sit at room temperature for 3-4 days, stirring or swirling a few times each day.
3. Strain and refrigerate, and enjoy. It is good hot or cold. Gives a nice heat either way.
