Step 1 of 4

Cut the lemon up into wedges and put in the Mason Jar.

Step 2 of 4

Get the Ginger and grate a little bit of it and put it in the Mason Jar with the Lemons

Step 3 of 4

Add the Honey and stir. The honey should fill about 90% of the jar. I had to stir it a couple of times while adding the honey to make sure the honey reached the bottom of the jar.

Step 4 of 4

All done. Put in the fridge. When you have a cold, sore throat, or flu symptoms, just get a tablespoon of this and put into a cup of hot water. This should last for about 2-3 months in the fridge.

You're Done

Instead of lemons I replaced it with oranges. It's comforting when served warm, and absolutely refreshing as a cold drink. My family loves it. ^ ^

Stacey, do you think this it safe to give to kids. I have a 4 year old and a 3 year old and would rather natural medicine when they are sick.

CJ- thruth be told i love it just the way i make it without water! It is good like that! The honey seemed fine when mixed! It took me a 1 1/2 months to use mine and i have to make some more today!

Stacey Wilkowski (author) 7 months ago

I didn't think you could put honey in the fridge though .. it says right on the container not to refrigerate

CJ Julian 7 months ago

my mother used to dissolve a teaspoon of honey in a couple of tablespoons of boiling water, then add about 1 teaspoon of malt vinegar, stir until the honey melted and then we'd let it drizzle down our throats by the spoonful to help with sore throats and cough etc. Yours sounds really good too with the ginger and lemon in the honey !!

CJ Julian 7 months ago

Petra- this is my preferred way too!! I need to make more because i am almost out!! I take it daily!!

Stacey Wilkowski (author) 8 months ago

I made this and drink it by the spoonful it's just so good

Lynn- LOL! To be honest, lately i have taken it with just a tablespoon w/out the water! Was in a rush. It wasn't all that bad either!!

Stacey Wilkowski (author) 9 months ago

I read it to fast!!! Was trying to multi task, of course! I didn't see that you add it, (like a dose) to water/drink. Sorry about that!!!! Can you imagine 😜
