Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Raw honey
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons Cinnamon powder
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger
- 0.25 cup Warm water
Instructions
Grate the fresh ginger finely, ensuring you extract its juice and benefits.
In a small saucepan, add the warm water and grated ginger. Heat on low for 2-3 minutes, letting the water infuse with the ginger flavor. Do not boil.
Remove the saucepan from heat and strain the liquid into a mixing bowl to remove any ginger solids.
Add raw honey to the ginger-infused water and stir until fully mixed and smooth.
Pour in the fresh lemon juice and sprinkle in the cinnamon powder. Stir thoroughly to combine all ingredients evenly.
Once the mixture is completely blended and consistent in texture, transfer it into a clean, airtight glass jar or bottle for storage.
Store the syrup in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Shake well before each use.
To use, take 1-2 teaspoons as needed to soothe your cough or sore throat. You can also stir it into warm tea for added relief.
