Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 grams Fresh ginger root
- 500 ml Raw honey
Instructions
Peel the fresh ginger root using a spoon or a vegetable peeler and slice it into thin rounds.
In a small saucepan, combine the sliced ginger and 2 tablespoons of water to coax out the ginger’s flavors. Simmer this mixture on low heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the ginger to cool slightly for 5 minutes.
In a clean, sterilized glass jar, layer the slightly cooled ginger slices.
Pour the raw honey over the ginger slices, ensuring the ginger is fully submerged. Use a spoon or chopstick to carefully press down the ginger and remove any air bubbles.
Seal the jar tightly and let the mixture infuse at room temperature for at least 24 hours before using to allow the ginger flavor to meld with the honey.
Store the ginger honey in a cool, dark place and use it within 3 months. For longer storage, refrigerate it for up to 6 months.
