Ingredients
- 1 cup Raw honey
- 2 tablespoons Fresh ginger root
- 1 teaspoon Fresh lemon zest
- 2 slices Fresh lemon slices
Directions
Step 1
Peel the fresh ginger root and grate it using a fine grater until you have approximately 2 tablespoons of grated ginger.
Step 2
Using a fine grater or zester, zest a lemon until you have 1 teaspoon of fresh zest. Ensure you avoid the bitter white pith beneath the yellow peel.
Step 3
Slice the lemon into thin slices and remove any seeds from the slices.
Step 4
In a clean, sterilized glass jar (about 12-16 oz in size), add the grated ginger, lemon zest, and lemon slices.
Step 5
Carefully pour the raw honey into the jar over the other ingredients, filling until they are fully submerged. Use a spoon to stir gently and combine the ingredients evenly.
Step 6
Secure the lid tightly and let the jar sit at room temperature for at least 24 hours. This allows the honey to become infused with the lemon and ginger flavors.
Step 7
After 24 hours, give the mixture a gentle stir. The honey is ready to use, but for stronger flavors, allow it to infuse longer.
Step 8
Store in a cool, dry place, or refrigerate for longer shelf life. Use within 1-2 months.
