Notes
- Make sure to use organic produce as this will all be marinating and we want to avoid pesticide residue.
- You can swap out the turmeric powder for the root.
- Make sure to use local, raw honey to avoid honey that has been cut with sugar.
- Feel free to use this on its own. I often just give this to my kids much like a cough syrup.
