Easy Steps to Making a Medicinal Honey
Supplies:
Raw Honey
Sage (fresh or dried leaves)
Ginger (fresh)
Garlic (fresh)
Clean jar
Wooden spoon
Knife and cutting board
Instructions:
1. Fill a clean, dry jar 1/3 to 1/2 full with loosely chopped sage, ginger, and garlic.
2. Cover ingredients with honey, stirring lightly to remove air bubbles.
3. Add more honey as needed to completely cover the herbs.
4. Cover and allow to infuse. The longer you leave it, the stronger the flavor. You can
use within a few days, but I like to give mine a week before straining into a clean
jar.
You don’t have to strain the honey, but I prefer to strain mine for a smooth honey and
take it by the spoonful.
Dosing:
During acute illness:
Adults – 1 teaspoon every 2 hours up to 10 doses daily
Children over 1 year – 1/2 teaspoon every 2 hours up to 5 doses daily.
