Mulberry Honey

Why people make this honey

When fresh mulberries come back into the markets — a basketful for a few dollars — Nourilo likes to turn them into a homemade mulberry honey. The flavor is mild and sweet, it suits young and old alike, and it can be taken over the long term without the worry of side effects. In traditional food therapy mulberries are associated with nourishing the liver and kidney, calming wind, replenishing fluids, and building blood and a healthy complexion. When they’re in season, it’s worth buying some to steep in wine or make into this honey, ready to take whenever you like.
