How I use the Honey Infused with Garlic, Ginger, and Turmeric:
At the onset of a cold, I take 1 teaspoon daily. This is what I do as an adult. But check with your physician as to what is the proper dosage for you.  Check with your pediatrician as to the proper dosage for children. Honey should never be given to children under the age of 1.
Shelf Life:
The Herbal Academy of New England says that a syrup will last for one year refrigerated if it has a 20% sugar content. This syrup has greater than a 20% sugar content provided by the honey so it will last for one year as long as you keep it cold and don’t contaminate the contents.  Always use a clean spoon when taking some from the jar.  Plus, the honey has antiviral, antibacterial, and antimicrobial properties which help to maintain the freshness of the syrup.

        Hello Mary, that’s for the procedures. It looks really easy to get it done. I want to ask, why should I keep it for 4 weeks before using it. Can’t it be used immediately after preparation? Looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks

          Hi Darren,

          Thanks for your comment. You can certainly use it right after you make it but it’s best after it’s had a chance to “steep”. It becomes stronger.

          BTW – Do you enjoy making traditional foods? If so, I have a playlist of some of my videos titled “Mastering the Basics of Traditional Nutrient Dense Foods Cooking”. It’s a series of 15 detailed videos that covers How to Make Bone Broth, Cultured Dairy, Ferments, Sourdough Starter (my foolproof stater), Sourdough Bread, Soaked and Sprouted Nuts and Beans, and How to Soak and Sprout Grains to Make your own Sprouted Flour at Home. You can watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLkRuW3pBo2U3b4eu0QraZReKlGzA11h3y And please share the playlist with any other folks you think might be interested in learning about these types of things. I’m passionate about the book Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon (of the Weston A Price Foundation) and want to help as many people as I can learn how to make Traditional “Nutrient Dense” Foods who may not be able to afford the online programs that have a cost associated with them.

          Please let me know if you have any questions. I’m so happy to help! And I’m SO glad you’re here!! Love, Mary PS – Are you in our FB group? It’s called Mary’s Nest Modern Pioneers. Come join us! We have a lot of fun chatting about Traditional “Nutrient Dense Foods and it’s a great place to get questions answered.
