Soothing Hot Honey Lemon Tea
The simplest way to enjoy raw honey, and our go-to at the first scratch of a sore throat. Keep the water warm rather than boiling so the honey stays raw and keeps its enzymes.
5 minutes 1 mug Easy
Ingredients
- 1 cup hot (not boiling) water
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 to 2 tablespoons Local Honey, to taste
- 1 cinnamon stick (optional)
- 2 thin slices fresh ginger (optional)
Method
- 1
Let just-boiled water sit for a minute so it stops boiling. Raw honey is best stirred into warm water, not boiling, so its natural enzymes survive.
- 2
Add the lemon juice and honey to your mug and stir until the honey dissolves.
- 3
Drop in the cinnamon stick and ginger, top with the hot water, and steep for 3 to 5 minutes.
- 4
Taste, add a little more honey if you like it sweeter, and sip slowly.
