Directions

In a double boiler, gently warm the honey over low heat-be careful not to overheat, as high temperatures can destroy beneficial enzymes.
Stir in the goldenseal and echinacea root, ensuring they are fully submerged.
Let the mixture infuse on low heat for 1-2 hours, stirring occasionally.
Strain out the herbs using a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth.
Transfer the infused honey into a clean glass jar and store at room temperature.
Use 1/2 teaspoon as needed for throat comfort or seasonal immune support.
Tip: Drizzle over herbal tea, spread on toast, or take it straight off the spoon!
