4 cups water
1 cup honey, or to taste
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/2 tsp. ground ginger
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
1 lemon, sliced
1 orange, sliced
Bring water, 1/2 cup honey, and spices to a boil; for best results use a non-metallic saucepan. Taste and continue adding honey until desired sweetness is reached; 1 cup makes a pretty sweet drink. Stir until honey dissolves, skimming surface until it is clear. Add lemon and orange slices, squeezing. Cool completely and strain. Keep refrigerated.
