Notes

Ginger Honey Syrup (2 ways)

If using fresh ginger root, you’ll need a couple of pieces about the size of your thumb. Peel the ginger and roughly chop it. This will help extract more flavor more quickly. Combine a half cup each water and wildflower honey in a small saucepan over medium heat.
Stir frequently until the honey is fully dissolved, then bring the mixture to a boil. Add the chopped ginger and reduce to a simmer. Let the mixture cook for about 10 minutes, then remove from the heat. Allow the syrup to cool fully before straining out the solids.
Ingredients:
  • 2 chunks of fresh ginger
  • 1/2 cup wildflower honey
  • 1/2 cup water
If using fresh ginger juice (recommended), combine 2 tablespoons of the juice with a half cup each of warm water (does not need to be boiling) and wildflower honey. Stir until the honey has dissolved and the ginger juice is fully incorporated.
Store your ginger honey syrup in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Add an ounce of vodka or grain alcohol to help the syrup last longer.
Ingredients:
  • 2 tablespoons ginger juice
  • 1/2 cup wildflower honey
  • 1/2 cup warm water
