Instructions
Combine the peppermint, chamomile, ginger, marshmallow root, and fennel seeds in a small bowl.
In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, add the herbal blend, and let it simmer gently for 10-15 minutes.
Turn off the heat, cover the pan, and let the herbs steep for an additional 20 minutes to extract their full properties.
Use a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to strain the herbal liquid into a clean bowl or measuring cup, discarding the herbs.
While the liquid is still warm (but not hot), stir in the raw honey until fully dissolved. This ensures the honey retains its beneficial properties.
Pour the syrup into a sterilized glass jar or bottle and seal tightly. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
