Cold Syrup

 


2 lemons, sliced

10-12 whole cloves

2 cinnamon sticks, broken or cinnamon chips

ginger, about an inch long, peeled and sliced. 

Place the lemons, cloves, cinnamon and ginger in a jar.  Cover with local, raw homey and makes sure it covers all the other ingredients.  I covered it with fresh, raw local honey & worked it down into the jar with a chopstick. Continue to add honey as it settles.  Set in a cool, dark place for 3 days, or longer, stir occasionally.  

Strain, store in refrigerator and use, as needed. 

You can dehydrate the solids and use them in teas or crush them in a blender and add that way (dehydrate before trying to put in the blender.)
