ingredients

  • 1/3 c water
  • 1/3 c honey
  • 12 oz tomato paste
  • 2 tbsp whey (or sauerkraut juice)
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp fish sauce
  • 1/8 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp ground cloves
  • 1/8 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/8 tsp fresh ground black pepper
  • 1/8 tsp sea salt

instructions

  1. Combine the hot water and honey, stirring until dissolved, then set aside to cool.
  2. Combine the honey water and the rest of the ingredients. Add salt to taste.
  3. Place in a quart-sized jar, cover, and let set at room temperature until fizzy and delicious. It should take 2-5 days. After the second day, be sure to burp the lid daily to prevent gas buildup. Taste it every day after the second day to see how you like it; once it tastes perfect, throw it in the fridge. It should keep for about 1 month.
