Warm & Wonderful Chai Honey
Chai is steeped in royal history. It originates from the ancient kingdoms of Southeast Asia, but has since acquired worldwide notoriety.
This warming chai-spiced blend is a wonderful digestive aid and tastes divine.
Yields 1 250 mL glass jar
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup (250g) raw honey

Directions
- Place the honey into a sterilized jar or measuring cup and place into a double boiler over low heat.
