Step 1
Make a very strong decoction, using 1 ounce of herb per 16 ounces of water. Warm over low heat and bring to a simmer. Then cover partially and reduce the liquid down to half its original volume.
Step 2
When it's down to about a cup of liquid, add 8 ounces of honey.
Step 3
Warm the mixture over low heat until well combined. Stir constantly, and don't heat above 110 degrees! (Optional: Add 1 part tincture to 3 parts syrup for an herbal boost and longer shelf life.)
Step 4
Let cool completely before bottling. Then pour syrup into bottles and label.
Step 5
Store in the refrigerator up to six months. These cork top glass bottles make a wonderful syrup storage vessel.
