Excellent. I gave some to friends as Christmas favors and no one has gotten sick this flue season. It works!

Thanks for the recipe! I have a quick question. The jar I have is 101 ounces. Is it OK to leave some air in the jar once the ingredients are covered, or does the jar need to be filled to the top?

I'm not sure that I can wait a month to six weeks to try this. It smells so good, and I tried a sip. So delicious. I made two batches today. The first one I chopped and chopped and got really tired, and didn't read the recipe closely enough, so added the honey right away. The second batch I decided to try something else. I weighed all the items out except the star anise, cinnamon and honey, tossed it all in the blender with the ACV and ran it that way. Then added the cinnamon and star anise. I'll wait to add the honey until time to filter out the solids. Has anyone tried this method?

I’ve been drinking this everyday, mix it with water because it’s too strong straight from the jar. I absolutely love it!

I've never heard of vinegar turning grey-green, but I do know that garlic (and sometimes onions) will turn blueish grey due to acid's interaction with antioxidants.

We are taking some daily during these difficult times. I’m making a new batch in two jars, including fresh thyme and rosemary. The vinegar in one jar has turned a grayish green, while the other is more gold like my first batch. Any idea what might have caused that, and do you think it’s safe to use? Thanks, and be well!

Allicin is an antioxidant pigment in garlic that turns blue when it is exposed to an acidic environment over time - like vinegar or fermentation. It's totally normal.
