Lemon Ginger Infused Honey – A Sore Throat Remedy

To use this honey for sore throats, add one tablespoon honey and one tablespoon lemon juice to a hot mug of water.

Prep : 6

Total Time: 6

Ingredients

1 Tbsp lemon zest zest of 1 lemon
1 Tbsp grated ginger root
1 cup liquid honey

Instructions

Add lemon zest and ginger root to a small 1 cup sealable jar.
Pour honey over top and stir until ingredients are well blended. If need be, heat honey over a pot of hot water to make it flow.
Put lid on jar. Allow mixture to infuse for 5 to 10 days in a cool, dark place.
Mixture can be used right away or stored for several months.
If you wish, after ten days, you can pour the honey through a fine strainer to remove the lemon zest and ginger. This step is optional, the ginger and lemon zest can remain in the honey.

Notes

1 cup of infused honey – 16 cups of hot lemon beverage

To prepare for the inevitable tickly throat, we keep a batch of lemon ginger honey in the cupboard. When it’s needed, we mix the following:

1 Tbsp of lemon ginger infused honey

1 Tbsp of lemon juice

1 cup of hot water

Let steep in a tall mug for 2 minutes then sip slowly.
