Tamar's Kid Friendly Raw Ginger Tonic

1 piece of raw ginger root about 2 inches long by one inch wide (unpeeled)
6 cups spring water
1 1/2 cinamon sticks (you can cut these the long way with kitchen shears to make it easier on your blender)
1 tiny pinch raw grey sea salt
1/2 of a raw vanilla bean
6 tablespoons fruit sugar or honey

Blend everything except for the fruit sugar in your blender on high speed for at least 3 minutes. If your blender is less than awesome, you'll need alot longer to break up the ingredients. Strain using a sprout bag or a tiny holed strainer, pour into pitcher and add the sugar and more water to taste. This is a great winter drink and good for digestion.
