Description

This spicy lemon ginger elixir is a true all-rounder! I especially like to make it in winter when a cold is coming on. The ginger warms from the inside, the lemon provides a good dose of vitamin C and the honey provides a pleasant sweetness. You can enjoy it hot as a tea or cold as a refreshing lemonade. A dash in hot water or tea is simply soothing. If you like, you can add some fennel seeds for an additional flavor note. The elixir can be kept in the refrigerator for several months - perfect for always having a supply!

While the syrup is cooking, rinse bottles with boiling water. It is best to choose several small bottles to extend the shelf life.
