Ingredients
  

  • 1/3 cup elecampane root
  • 2 TBSP Fresh ginger root
  • 1 cup Raw honey
  • 1 Cinnamon sticks
  • Apple cider vinegar splash

Instructions
 

  • Get Ready: Wash the elecampane root thoroughly. If you're using dried roots, soak them in cold water for 30 minutes to awaken their potential.
  • Chop and Combine: Dice the elecampane and ginger roots. Place them into a pint jar and add a touch of apple cider vinegar to marry the flavors.
  • Slow Simmer: Pour honey over the root mix, ensuring it fully covers the roots. Cook over low heat — gentle warmth is key to extracting the volatile oils without burning them.
  • Stir Occasionally: Allow the concoction to simmer for about an hour, stirring occasionally. You’re aiming for a delightful color change and aroma!
