I have loved honey since I trained in India many years ago with the legendary Dr. Deepak Chopra.
He introduced me a refreshing hot honey, ginger and lemon drink, topped with mint, which has become my signature drink.
My website director loves it, too! He asks for it when we are working together. So this one is for you, William!
