Honey, Lemons, Ginger.....Tea

My sister in law passed along a blog post about a Korean tea made with honey and lemon.  It looked so interesting I made my own version of it.  If it turns out well, it should make a nice addition to our Christmas baskets!

Here are the ingredients:

I am adding ginger slices since ginger is very good for a cold and sore throat as well.  First I put a layer of honey into the jar...

Then I seeded the lemon slices, and cut them into quarters.  I figure if you're sick with the cold or flu you don't want to be picking seeds out of your tea...

Then I added a thin layer of honey...

And a layer of ginger...

Then another layer of honey, lemons, honey, ginger....etc.

I packed everything down tightly as I continued...

Then capped the jar and put it in the fridge.  I'll give it a week or two before I try it.

Here's the original article if you'd like to read it.

You use a spoonful of this in a mug, then add hot water to make a tea.  I can't think of anything more soothing on a cold winter day!
