Notes

Use Good Honey: Choose a high-quality honey for the best flavor.

Sterilize Your Jar: Before storing your mixture, wash the jar thoroughly and rinse it with boiling water. This helps keep it fresh longer.

Infusion Time: Let the mixture sit in the fridge for at least 24 hours to allow the flavors to blend. The longer it sits, the richer the taste.

Proper Storage: Keep the mixture in an airtight jar in the refrigerator. It should last 3-4 weeks. Always use a clean spoon to avoid contamination.

Serving Suggestions: Start with 2 tablespoons of the mixture per cup of hot water, adjusting to your taste.

Water Temperature: Let boiling water cool slightly before adding it to the mixture to preserve the honey's nutrients and flavor.

Straining (Optional): You can strain out the bits of lemon, ginger, and garlic for a smoother tea, or leave them in for extra flavor and benefits.
