This is a perfect duo to fight any cold. Lemon is loaded with vitamin C, magnesium, and copper. Honey, when mixed with bodily enzymes kills bacteria within your system.
Ingredients:
- 1 Pint of RAW honey (local preferred)
- 1 whole organic lemon
Directions:
- Pour honey in a pan on stove top and heat on very low heat. (if the honey boils it loses its healing properties)
- Place the lemon in in a separate pan and cover lemon with water and bring to a boil for 2-3 minutes. This process kills off bacteria that is on the skin and softens the lemon.
- Cool the lemon and then cut it in slices and add to the pan with pint of honey.
- For approximately 1 hour, let mixture cook on warm heat.
- Strain the honey free of lemon and seeds.
- Cool, bottle in jar with a lid and store in refrigerator
