one . Lemon and honey:
Of course, this is number one. Lemon + honey = amazing. When the defenses come down and it's a flu season, putting lemon and honey (in tea or not) is great to make you feel better.
You will need to:

-1 tablespoon of lemon zest
-2 fresh slices of lemon, juice and put them inside (optional)
Instructions
Pour 1 cup of honey into the pan and add 1 tablespoon of grated lemon peel. Adhere 2 slices to enhance the flavor if you wish. Heat these together for about 10 minutes, making sure to keep the heat relatively low. Burnt honey doesn't taste as bad as some other burned things, but you can still avoid it. Around 115 degrees Fahrenheit (46 degrees C.) releases the flavors very well, but it will depend on your stove. After heating the mixture, let stand for 1-2 hours or up to 1-2 weeks. After this place it in a glass jar with a lid that closes well. You have to know that the longer you settle, the stronger the taste will be.
It is good to use: If you have a cold or cough, place a healthy portion of your honey infusion with lemon in the bottom of a cup. Pour freshly boiled water over the top, and place your tea bag. Lemon can loosen phlegm, while honey soothes irritation. You can also slowly heat the lemon honey while adding the juice of a freshly squeezed lemon. When it is still hot and liquid, drink slowly.

Demi and cinnamon maezcla is one of the most powerful because they make a very good combination. Both one and the other have very beneficial properties for health, whenever you can take this mixture.

3 . Ginger and honey:

If you have a small cut or a sore mouth, this infusion with honey can help heal faster and keep bad bacteria aside while the nails take care of the discomfort.
5 . Apple Cider Vinegar and Honey:
If you are worried about the taste, this may not be the honey to put on a sandwich and give to the children. Although there are candies made with this mixture and they are delicious. Apple cider vinegar is a substance that seems to help almost all diseases and adds this wonderful liquid to the superhero that is honey, and you have an extension of flavor that is full of health benefits.
You will need to:
-1 cup honey
-2-3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

Add 1 cup of honey to a pan, and then pour 2-3 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar. Let it simmer for 10 minutes, stirring well. Place in a bowl and let it rest for as long as you want - its flavor and benefits are there very quickly, and it does not have to be allowed to settle as long as the other infusions.

Storage
The period of use, if kept in a glass jar with an airtight lid, is 6 months. Some people say it can last for years, but you have to do your own experimentation. Even with plant matter, it can last a long time (microorganisms have a hard time surviving inside) without needing to be refrigerated. Simply store in a cool place and away from direct sunlight. The casting is more by sight / flavor and is easier when the honey is heated a little after being seated for a couple of hours making it softer to strain.
Tips
- If crystals form, place the honey (in its jar) in a pot with a water bath. The crystals "melt" and their honey will be soft again.
- A touch of flavor is to add 3 tablespoons of chopped fruit. Apple - Strawberry is one of my favorite flavors to eat in butter toast. I don't cure them in the end either.
- Having a honey flavor makes an impressive gift in a beautiful decorative bottle.
- Freely adjust to your liking and experiment. It is not an exact science, and it has to do with everything you like and what is good for you.
