Thyme is a pretty powerful herb to have at your disposal – Extremely high in antioxidants, it contains vitamins A, C and B alongside minerals like calcium, iron, potassium, manganese, and magnesium.
It’s widely known to have antiviral, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antiseptic properties (which you can read more about here). Honey is also rich in antioxidants and holds similar superpowers to thyme (antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and beyond). Combine the two and what do you get? This thyme-infused medicinal honey, of course.
This mixture is ideal for fighting off coughs, colds, and sore throats. Containing only two ingredients, it’s one of the most affordable recipes on our blog.
Okay, we don’t want to make you read through an essay when you’re here for a recipe – let’s get mixing!
Ingredients
Method
Thyme medicinal honey can be consumed throughout the year and served as you please! You can take one to three teaspoons per day – stir it into your tea, swirl it onto some yoghurt, spread it on a slice of bread, or use it as a marinade for chicken.
