Ingredients
1 cup fresh ginger (peeled & grated)
1 tablespoon cloves (whole)
1 cup honey (preferably raw, organic)
1 cup water
Instructions
Prepare the Ginger
Peel and grate 1 cup of fresh ginger.
Set aside.
Boil the Cloves
In a small pot, add 1 cup water.
Add 1 tablespoon cloves.
Simmer for 8–10 minutes until water turns brown and aromatic.
Add Ginger
Add grated ginger to the clove water.
Simmer on low heat for 5 minutes.
Turn off heat and let it cool for 10 minutes.
Strain
Strain the mixture using a fine sieve or cloth.
Add Honey
When the liquid becomes warm (not hot), add 1 cup honey.
Stir well until fully combined.
Honey should not be added to boiling liquid — it destroys its natural enzymes.

Keep refrigerated for up to 2 weeks.
