I like to make something similar that I drink as iced tea during the hot summer months. And love to mix it with sparkling water and mint leaves as well - yummm, so refreshing!
Just wanted to add something I read somewhere once, and I thought it made sense... it said that honey should not be boiled or added to boiling water, as it loses its properties! so I only add honey as the last step, once the tonic has cooled down to a warmish room temperature :)
Just discovered your substack recently and I am looking forward to follow along!
hi! thanks for the note!! i’ve heard this through the grapevine! not sure if you boil this long enough for the honey to lose all the honey’s benefits, but honestly i like to add a little bit of honey when i make the drink anyway hehe ;) xoxo
