Introduction
Honey has been treasured for centuries—not only as a natural sweetener but also as a powerful healing agent. This golden elixir, produced by hardworking bees, is packed with antioxidants, enzymes, and antibacterial properties that make it a unique staple in both kitchens and home remedies. Whether drizzled over toast, stirred into tea, or applied to wounds, honey is a testament to nature’s ability to nourish and heal.
In this article, we'll explore how to prepare a simple, natural honey-based tonic and touch on honey's many health benefits.
