Thyme honey

Thyme honey probably wouldn't be considered the strongest remedy for coughs and colds, but it is one of the better tasting.

To make the honey:

Fill a widemouthed glass jar half full of fresh thyme leaves and flowers. Gently warm a batch of raw, unpasteurized honey, so that it will better extract the properties of the thyme. Do not overheat or boil; heat over 110°F will kill the honey's enzymes and destroy its medicinal benefit. Add enough honey to the jar to cover the herbs, and place the jar in a warm spot (near a sunny window will work). Let steep for approximately 2 weeks.(You could also use a slow cooker set to 100°F. It will take only a few hours of constant warm heat to make a strong medicinal honey.)

When the honey taste and smells strongly of thyme, it's finished. You can leave the tiny thyme leaves in the honey. Bottle and store in a cool pantry or in the refrigerator, where the honey will keep for several months.

To use:

Use by the teaspoonful. Enjoy this delicious thyme honey by itself, or use it to sweeten teas for additional medicinal benefits

Variation:

For additional flavor, add 4 to 6 drops of pure essential lemon oil to each cup of thyme honey.
