Preparation of the shot of honey syrup with ginger or honey, ginger and lemon :

Start by washing, peeling and cutting the ginger into small strips. If you want to make the lemon version do the same with the lemon and cut it into thin slices and then cut them into small pieces.

Then put a little honey in the bottom of the glass jar, then a layer of ginger. Add another layer of honey and alternate layers until the jar is completely filled. For the lemon version, simply alternate layers of honey, ginger and lemon.

Leave your potted preparation unopened for at least one week at room temperature. The ginger will confide and make the syrup more and more liquid. The version with lemon will become a little more liquid than the ginger version because the lemon contains a little more juice. You can macerate at room temperature for up to a month, then keep the preparation in a cool place for 3 to 6 months.
