Mulberry Honey Paste

Why people make this paste

When mulberries are at their sweet, ripe best, Nourilo always buys some — to steep in wine, or to make a homemade mulberry honey for his own use. In traditional food therapy mulberries are associated with nourishing the liver and kidney, sharpening hearing and sight, calming the mind, and moistening the bowels. Cooked down with red dates and goji berries into a paste, it’s a comforting everyday tonic traditionally linked with supporting restful sleep, easing forgetfulness and ringing ears, and helping with prematurely graying or thinning hair.
