by Tim Walker December 10, 2018
Hi everyone!
Winter is definitely here now and we thought we could share with you this immunity boosting, body soothing natural remedy to help fight colds and flu! :) You can make it ahead of time and store it in the fridge.
Ingredients:
- 2 lemons thoroughly cleaned - 2 pieces of fresh ginger about the size of your pointer and middle finger - Raw dark honey (runny) - Chestnut/Oak/Heather would be ideal - 12 oz mason jar
Instructions
1. Slice lemons and ginger. 2. Place the lemon and ginger slices in the mason jar, alternating layers of each. 3. Slowly, pour honey over the lemon and ginger. Allow the honey to sink down and around the lemon and ginger slices. Fill jar to the top with honey and seal tightly. 4. Store in the refrigerator. Over time, the mixture will start to turn into a loose jelly. 5. When you are in need of some soothing tea, scoop 2-3 tablespoons into a mug full of hot water—be sure to scoop whole pieces of ginger and lemon. Allow to steep for 3-4 minutes and sip away.
Hope this will help you to face the cold season ! :)
Our Winter catalogue has just landed, giving you a taste of what is available this Autumn and Winter - including the new Bioactive Forest (Active 25), an extra virgin olive oil, high in polyphenols. We've have been busy over the last few weeks taking delivery of our new stock. Potent and delicious honeys that I discovered during my travels this year, like the amazing organic Mountain honey created on Mount Helidona from Fir, Oak, Chestnut and mountain herbs. (It's from an exceptionally wild area known as the Greek Alps.)
ACTIVE 25+. We have just taken delivery of a rare & highly antibacterial Sidr & Oak honey from the Rhodope Mountains Greece — the place of one of Europe’s few true virgin forests — very ancient woodland, undisturbed by people. The forest and the bees have produced a truly unique creation. Sidr nectar and Oak honeydew in the same honeycombs - two of our most potent honeys together. Not only is it very antibacterial but the flavour notes of the Sidr and Oak combined are deep and balanced: Oak up front, molasses and dark chocolate, rounded by Sidr’s creamy smoothness.
If you’re searching for a honey that’s not only delicious but also rare, powerful, and steeped in tradition, look no further than our Raw Certified Organic Artisan Sidr - Active 24 One of the world’s rarest honeys, Sidr honey has been cherished for centuries for its purity, healing properties, and unique flavour.
This is one of the finest raw organic forest honeys produced due to the extremely remote area it comes from. Beekeeper Luisa places her hives high in the Cantabrian Mountains and hills in Asturias, a green and unspoilt area in the north of Spain. The forests in this area are untouched, in a chemical-free environment with a mixture of wild Mediterranean oak, chestnut, beech, and pine trees.
