Recipe type: drink
Ingredients
1 organic lemon (I used a Meyer lemon), cut into equatorial slices, then quartered or sixthed
a pint jar with good screwtop lid (or similar)
enough honey to cover the cut up lemon
Instructions
Put cut up lemon and honey into jar and stir. Some of the lemon will rise to the top. Add more honey to cover.
Allow to sit in the fridge for at least 1 week, to several. Sitting the jar in a cool, dark place (cupboard or counter) can also work. Gently shake it occasionally, to redistribute the lemon.
The lemon peels and pulp will break down, making a mush.
Spoon 1 tablespoon (or to taste) into a mug and fill with boiling water. Stir and drink.
Since honey does not spoil and lemon is acidic, it can keep for 1-3 years in the fridge. In 3 months, there may be some fermentation - that's okay. However, if the jar lid bulges and/or is sitting in a warm area for too long, DON'T use it. There could be some nasty bacteria in it. You can cook it at a low simmer for 15+ minutes or pitch it and start over. Focus on slow and cool for making this honey-lemon concoction properly.
