Instructions
Wash your lemons - optional: I like to give a light scrub of the exterior of the lemons with coarse salt.
Boil a pot of water to sterilize your mason jar and lid.
Slice your lemons into thin slices (roughly ⅛”). Discard ends. Remove seeds from slices.
Optional: cut 2” knob of ginger and smash lightly.
Place lemon slices into metal bowl. Pour raw honey over lemon slices.
Use non-wood spatula to stir gently and incorporate honey into all lemon slices.
Take sterilized mason jar and lid (dried) and pour in lemon/honey mixture. Optional: place smashed 2” knob of ginger.
Close jar tightly and store in refrigerator for at least 24 hours to infuse.
Take 2 tbsp of lemon/honey mixture and pour hot water. Enjoy!
Notes
This Honey Lemon mixture can be stored in an airtight container in your refrigerator for up to two weeks.
