We try to enjoy a few teaspoons of honey each day . . . to help with allergies. The girls have also started to have a little cough, so I decided to up the goodies in that teaspoon of honey. We had some mandarin oranges sitting out on the counter, some cinnamon (when am I ever without that???) and a new bottle of Raw Honey from a local farm. So, I was set.
There are no set amounts . . . more of a "to taste" type mix. We just cut up three mandarins, tossed them in the canning jar, covered them with some honey. Added a little cinnamon and then more honey. We placed it in the fridge and stirred it every-so-often. It was ready the next morning . . . for in our tea and just to eat by the spoon.
It's VERY YUMMY!
