Good to Know
- When making these herbal syrups, have a peaceful and positive mindset. Anything made with calm and love carries stronger healing effects.
- To maximize the healing properties of these herbal syrups, always use freshly picked plants in the sun, that are full of solar energy. While dried herbs can be an alternative, they should be used sparingly and at half the quantity since drying diminishes their potency.
- You can use any type of raw honey of your liking, but if you don’t want an overpowering honey taste we recommend acacia or wildflower honey (linden is on the opposite spectrum). Manuka honey is just a lot of marketing, the best honey is raw honey. Usually per 2.2 lb/1 kg of plant, you can use 1.65 lb/750 g of honey.
- By keeping temperatures below 104°F (40°C) when adding raw acacia honey, you retain the healing properties of honey while adding natural sweetness.
- The quality of water also plays a crucial role in obtaining the best healing herbal syrups. Ideally, use spring water and if you don’t have it, use distilled water (add a drop of fresh lemon juice to distilled water to bring it back to life).
