Pro Tips/Recipe Notes

Want to make this vegan? Use a product like BeeFree Honey instead of traditional honey.
If you are using raw honey, don’t add it to the mixture until it is barely warm to the touch. Over-heating raw honey will ruin any of the medicinal properties.
Do not give this product to children under one-year-old.
Add 1-2 tbsp of lemon or lime zest while cooking for a citrusy flavor.
The recipe calls for 3/4 cup of chopped ginger and produces a fairly spicy syrup. You can reduce the ginger and/or increase the amount of honey to taste.
You do not need to peel the ginger before cooking unless you want to.
Save the discarded cooked ginger and freeze it for other recipes. Related: How to Freeze Ginger.
