- double boiler set
Ingredients
- 22 ounces Honey
- 1 piece lemon
- 1 inch ginger root
Instructions
- Peel a 1 inch piece of raw ginger. Using a knife, slice the ginger. It is okay to make the slices thin or thicker – either way you prefer.
- Slice one whole lemon in equal width slices. Add the lemon slices and ginger pieces to the glass jar in layers.
- Using a double boiler, heat your honey to a temp of 115 degrees F. We do not normally recommend heating raw honey because it may destroy some of the nutrients. However, for infusing – warm honey works best.
- Pour the warmed honey mixture into the jar containing the lemon slices and ginger pieces. Now, add a lid to the jar and invert the jar several times to mix well.Leave the sealed jar sitting in a warm place for several days. You may want to periodically invert the jar to mix but that is optional. After a few days, your infused honey is ready to use.
Notes
Notes:
If you don't have a lot of time to infusion - don't worry. You will still have some relief from the tea when it's fresh. But it is more soothing when warm.
*Some people add a little turmeric to the recipe - you can if you wish.
