A lovely recipe to try! 🌿🍯

Love this medicinal recipe from our friend Rosemary Gladstar :

𝗪𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝗧𝗵𝘆𝗺𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝗛𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘆

🌿 Gather some fresh wild thyme (cultivated thyme will do just fine).

🌿 Place in a glass jar and cover with warm melted honey, just enough to cover the thyme thoroughly by an inch or two.

🌿 Set in a warm area and let sit for a few days to a week, until the honey takes on the flavor of thyme.

🌿 You can warm the honey again and strain out the thyme, if you wish, though I prefer to leave it in. It’s too messy to strain out, and it’s also nice, flavorful and chewy when left in the honey.

🌿 Use in tea and on toast and muffins.

Himalayan oregano (Origanum vulgare) this is a rare variety that I have grown this year. Packed with antimicrobial compounds, it has a distinctive spicy taste that is equally as valuable in the medicine cupboard as it is in the kitchen. Great as a herbal tea 🍵 🌿
