LEMON FERMENTED HONEY
Brenda Litzke
Full of probiotics and antioxidant Vitamin C.
Can be used as a syrup to calm a sore throat.
A tablespoon of lemon honey (with the slices) combined with a cup of hot water makes a delightful “cup of tea”.
Add a splash of whiskey and you have a perfect hot toddy.
Or drizzle over freshly baked biscuits and scones, go even further and whisk into a sweet and tangy vinaigrette. Oh, the possibilities ...
Method
Alternate layers of sliced lemons and honey and leave space on top for the lemon juice that will form.
Remove air pockets.
Loosely place lid on jar as this ferments best with some oxygen exposure.
Stir gently twice daily for up to 10 days.
Honey will thin and may start to bubble slightly as it ferments.
It is finished when you like the flavor, there is no set end point.
When you are happy, store it in the refrigerator.
