Preparation & safety notes

This is a culinary botanical infusion, not a medicine. Handle hot water and the saucepan with care; keep children and pets away from hot surfaces and liquids. Do not leave the stove unattended. Ginger and culinary spices may not suit everybody, especially people with spice allergies, sensitivities or certain medical conditions. If pregnant, taking anticoagulant or antiplatelet medicines, or managing a medical condition, ask a qualified healthcare professional whether concentrated herbal or spice infusions are appropriate for you. Honey must not be given to infants younger than 12 months. Do not make claims about pain relief, improved circulation, immunity or therapeutic benefit. Prepare fresh; do not claim a tested shelf life for leftovers.
