Introduction

I first made a batch of this amazing super syrup about a month ago and I have made it over and over again since to give as gifts and to drink daily myself

In fact, this very bottle is in the post today to a friend

The combination of the soothing, healing and immune-boosting properties of these three ingredients is just what we all need right now

The best part is that it is super versatile

Just add 1 tablespoon of the syrup to hot or cold water – or take it as a delicious shot

I ‘ve been having mine with soda water as a refreshing pick me up in the afternoon, or in hot water as a soothing toddy in the evening

The raw honey means that it lasts for age in the fridge so you can have a bottle ready to go whenever you need a little something extra

And it makes a great gift

Enjoy!

The recipe

Ingredients

400 ml raw honey

10 cm knob of fresh ginger

2-4 lemons

Directions

Step 1

Take two clean 375ml jars.

Step 2

Peel and grate the ginger.

Step 3

Thinly slice two of the lemons to start with.

Step 4

Starting with a teaspoon of ginger, layer the ginger and lemon slices.

Step 5

Cut more lemon if required – this really depends on the size of your lemons.

Step 6

Keep going until you are about an inch from the top of the jar.

Step 7

Slowly add the honey.

Step 8

Don’t worry if you can see air pockets, they will disappear as you steep the syrup.

Step 9

Place the lids tightly on the jars and store in a cool, dry place for a week.

Step 10

Turn the jars and give them a light shake every day to combine all of the ingredients.

Step 11

The lemons will release their juice, as does the ginger, creating a thin syrup.

Step 12

Strain the syrup through a strainer and then store in a jar in the fridge for up to three months.
