Ingredients
- 1 cup Honey
- 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
- 1 inch piece Fresh ginger
Directions
Step 1
1. Wash and dry the lemon thoroughly. Using a fine grater or microplane, zest the lemon to yield about 1 tablespoon of lemon zest. Be careful to only grate the yellow part of the skin, avoiding the bitter white pith underneath.
Step 2
2. Peel the ginger using a spoon or knife and slice it into thin rounds or small pieces, approximately 1 inch in size.
Step 3
3. In a clean, sterilized glass jar with a lid, add the lemon zest and sliced ginger.
Step 4
4. Pour the honey into the jar, ensuring that the lemon zest and ginger are fully submerged.
Step 5
5. Seal the jar tightly and give it a gentle shake to mix the ingredients evenly.
Step 6
6. Let the honey infuse at room temperature for at least 24 hours to allow the flavors to develop. For stronger infusion, let it sit for up to 1 week, shaking the jar occasionally.
Step 7
7. After infusion, strain the honey through a fine mesh sieve to remove the zest and ginger pieces, if desired. Alternatively, leave them in for continued flavor enhancement over time.
Step 8
8. Store the infused honey in a cool, dark place. Use within 3 months.
