HONEY LEMON GINGER JAR

A natural cold & flu remedy

To ward off winter bugs and keep healthy, try this immune boosting honey, lemon & ginger infused together in a jar.

The concoction is simple _ honey, lemon and ginger layered together in a jar and kept in the fridge. Every morning, add a couple of spoonfuls to a mug of warm water and sip it whilst getting breakfast ready.

As well as acting defensively against cold and flu, this drink is also great if you do come down with a bug or suffer from a sore throat. It is suitable for children (above one year) too.

Some people may prefer to make this drink fresh every morning, but you may not always have fresh lemons and ginger at home, or simply not have the time to slice them up every morning. So, this method means you will always have the ingredients on hand and all you have to do is put a couple of spoonfuls into some hot water.
If you can, use raw local honey. Processed honey can lose many of its wonderful health benefits, most notably its anti-bacterial, anti-viral and anti-fungal properties.
 
 
INGREDIENTS
•    400g / 1 cup honey
•    2 lemons, sliced
•    1 inch fresh ginger, sliced
•    1 x 500ml / 16oz jar with lid

INSTRUCTIONS
1.    Add the lemon, ginger and honey to the jar in layers:
  Place 2-3 slices of lemon in the jar, added a couple of pieces of ginger and then a few spoonfuls of honey. Repeat until you have used all the produce and the jar is full.

2.    Screw the lid on tightly and put in the fridge for at least 12 hours before using to allow all the ingredients to combine and the flavours to infuse. When ready, add one or two teaspoons to a mug of warm water and drink immediately.

3.    It is normal for the lemon juice and the honey to separate in the jar. The honey will settle at the bottom and you will get a delicious lemon and ginger juice towards the top. Rather than continuously mixing them back together, simply take a spoon of the juice and a spoon of the honey from the jar each time you use it.

The mixture will keep in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to two months.
