ingredients
- 1/3 cup bee balm flowers
- 1/3 cup raw honey
- 1/3 cups white balsamic vinegar or apple cider vinegar
Method
Step 1
Place flowers in a jar loosely. Pour honey over them. Add vinegar and fill it to the top of the jar. Stir it to combine.
Step 2
Place a piece of wax paper between the jar and the lid to eliminate any rusting. Give the jar a good shake, and store in a dark place away from light and shake almost daily if you can remember
Step 3
After two weeks, strain the plant material (it’s called a mark) and transfer to a clean jar. Add a tablespoon to your morning tea or simply take a shot. I love adding it to cocktails as well!
