Fire Honey
Fire Honey is a five-minute pantry recipe for days when a scratchy throat or tickly cough has you reaching for something soothing. Raw, unfiltered honey is the base, and a little cayenne gives it a warming kick you can adjust to your liking. Enjoy a spoonful straight from the jar or stir it into a mug of warm lemon tea.
Ingredients
- 1 cup raw honey
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon ground Ceylon cinnamon Ceylon only
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper or less to taste
- ½ teaspoon finely ground black pepper
Instructions
- Add the honey and ground spices to a clean, dry jar. Stir well, scraping the bottom and sides of the jar, until the spices are evenly mixed.
