SAGE

< PREV | NEXT >

Sage – This may be one of my favourite culinary/medicinal herbs out there. Like it or not, we’re gearing up to head into cold-season, and try as we might, a seasonal sniffle is more than likely for most of us. Sage does wonders to help soothe an itchy, irritated throat, and sage honey is a great remedy to have on hand when cold-season hits for just this reason.* When needed, enjoy a spoonful out of the jar, or stir into hot tea. Making it couldn’t be simpler!

Sage Honey

Start with a clean glass mason jar (sanitize it by submerging it in boiling water or running it through the sanitize cycle in the dishwasher, and dry). Begin with fresh sage, and chop it finely, adding to the jar until it is half-filled. Cover and fill with raw honey, and watch the air bubbles rise to the top and release. Once the bubbles are gone, add more honey to fill, leaving about ½ an inch at the top of the jar. Cover, and allow to infuse for 2-4 weeks. To strain, set the jar, uncovered, in a saucepan with cool water, and slowly warm over low heat to soften and liquefy the honey. Strain through a fine mesh sieve, and store your honey in a glass jar to use as needed.
