How To Make healthy essentials: yummy ginger honey

  • 1
    PREP/PREPARE
  • 2
    Gather your Ingredients (mise en place).
  • 3
    Peel the ginger, and thinly slice.
  • 4
    Place the honey and ginger in a tightly-sealed glass container.
  • 5
    Chef's Note: There are recipes like this that call for "cooking" the honey and ginger, but do not do that. Cooking it will only destroy the good parts of the honey and ginger. Give it 4 weeks, and let it work its magic.
  • 6
    Place in your cupboard, or on your kitchen window sill for about 4 weeks.
  • 7
    Chef’s Note: I prefer placing it on my kitchen window sill. Not only does it get the gentle warmth of the sun; in addition, it just looks so nice.
