Make sure you have some of this ready...great recipe for sore throats and chest colds makes about 2 cups ◾2 lemons thoroughly cleaned and sliced ◾2 piece of ginger about the size of your pointer and middle finger together sliced into coin size pieces ◾Honey (about 1 cup-maybe more) In a 12-16 oz. jar combine lemon slices and sliced ginger. Pour honey (organic is best) over it slowly. This may take a little time to let the honey sink down and around the lemon and ginger slices.

To serve: Spoon jelly into mug and pour boiling water over it. Store in fridge 2-3 months.
