Equipment
- Glass jar with lid
Ingredients
- Honey
- ½ - 1 Red Onion
- 1 Knob Ginger
- 1 Small Lemon
Instructions
- Peel the red onion.
- Slice the ginger, red onion and lemon into thin slices.
- In a glass jar, layer the onion, ginger, and lemon until the jar is about three-quarters full.
- Pour the honey over the ingredients, completely covering everything in the jar. Use a knife or spatula to get the air bubbles out so the honey can fill all the gaps.
- Add the lid to the jar.
- Place the jar in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight for up to four days to ferment. Make sure to open and stir daily. The honey will become more runny and you may find it becomes a little fizzy. This is normal and as long as the smell is not unpleasant, it should be fine to consume.
- After the fermenting time, strain, label and store in the fridge.
- Stir before using.
