Why make Garlic Honey? A spoonful and a clove of this gorgeous homeopathic remedy is better than NyQuil if you’ve got a fever. Simply crush a head of purple garlic (I got mine from Walmart), put it in a jar, and fill it with raw honey! Super simple, super effective. … Also, don’t forget to burp the jar every few hours — this is a fermented mix that needs to breathe! Learn more in our new blog — link to site in bio.

Hibby to the hoppy we just don’t stoppy. Hibiscus petals soaked in honey … then you pour rum over it. Let it sit for a few weeks. The cocktails, friends. The cocktails.

Today’s pour is MINT WITCH HONEY — an excellent sweet mint taste from nature. It’s got a gentle pop that scratches the itch, settles your belly, and doesn’t taste like someone is punching you in the face with a York Peppermint Patty. Not that there is anything wrong with a York — a space for everything and everything in its space 🥰🥰 Make your mint tea a BETTER way.

Earlier this year, Alex and I got sick. The serious kind of sick. Stay-awake-listening-to him-breathing-in-case-he-stops sick. It altered our lives in many ways that sound dramatic but in all honestly aren’t nearly dramatic enough. One is that we will never, ever treat a cold as just a cold again. AND – I've included my recipe for Garlic Honey in the blog to help you this cold season

Flu? Fever? Covid? Our take of winter sickness offers up a free recipe for garlic honey that will make you feel better.
