Honey and rhubarb are a perfect match; the tartness of rhubarb is a lovely foil for the sweetness of honey. This Homemade Honey Rhubarb Soda is quick and easy. Gin or even vodka can be added to the recipe below for a refreshing early-summer cocktail. I garnish it with peony petals, but any edible flower will do. This drink is also pretty enough to stand on its own.
Manuka honey, which comes from Australia and New Zealand, is a popular product among people who eat honey to be healthy but Björn's propolis honey is a better understood, local alternative. Propolis is known for its remarkable ability to fight microbes and when blended with our local wildflower and clover honey, it becomes a tasty and healthy immune booster.
When we eat local honey, we expose our bodies to trace amounts of local pollens. The idea is that our bodies then become accustomed to these pollens and don't release histamines. Without histamines, there are no symptoms of seasonal allergies.
