Honey has long been lauded for its healing benefits. In this workshop we take a brief look at some of the health benefits of using honey to support our immune system. We make two staple remedies: electuaries and syrups. Both are delicious remedies you can make and have on hand. They easily can find their way into your everyday cooking (slather them on toast, sweet your tea, use them in your homemade salad dressing, etc). Because honey is sweet & well loved, herbal honeys are great for everyone, especially children, picky eaters or those who have trouble with the bitter taste that is often found in strong medicinal plants. Both recipes included here are template recipes that can easily be substituted with the herbs that you love or have on hand - the possibilities are endless!
