Honey is a miracle food, its delicious in teas and foods, its also a great medicine having antioxidants, antibacterial and anti-fungal properties. What an awesome tasting medicine for sore throats! I have compiled several recipes for you to try.

Lemon Honey

When you come down with any sort of cold, putting lemon and honey together (in tea or otherwise) is a go-to for making you feel better.

Ingredients

1 cup of honey
1 tablespoon grated lemon peel
2 fresh slices of lemon, juice and tossed in (optional)
saucepan
8 oz. glass jar with a tightly fitting lid

Directions

Pour 1 cup of honey into your pan and add 1 tablespoon of freshly grated lemon peel. Toss in 2 slices for boosted flavor if you like. Heat these together for about 10 minutes, making sure to keep the heat relatively low. Be careful not to burn it. After the mixture is heated, let it sit for 1–2 hours or up to 1–2 weeks. After its infused strain if you’d like and place in a glass jar with a tightly fitting top. The longer it sits the stronger it will taste.

If you have a bad cough or cold, place a healthy dollop of your lemon infused honey at the bottom of a cup…
