Ginger Bee Tonic 325g

Our Ginger Bee Tonic is made with a local manuka honey, Fijian ginger and Te Puke lemon and is the perfect for tonic for those days you feel like a pick-me-up. Delicious in hot drinks or as a refreshing spread. The goodness of manuka, infused with ginger and New Zealand lemon to create a full-flavour product that is fan-favourite!

My father was the very first person in New Zealand to create honey infusions back in the late 1970's. He built the machinery that we still use today. Over the years a few beekeepers have blended honey with ingredients, but it's only blending, typically with powders, essences , but nothing compares to our infusion process. You can taste the difference!

The lemon is freeze-dried and collected from orchards just a few kilometres away and processed in Te Puke. We use freeze-dried lemon so we can increase the concentration of lemon by removing most of the water whilst retaining all the goodness of the lemon.

When processing it into the honey, a huge plume of fine lemon particules fills the air. Despite wearing a mask, I still breathe it in and can feel it energise my lungs. at least I hope that's what its doing otherwise I'm in trouble! Regardless, it fells like a huge vitamin C boost!

We've been making the Tonic for about ten years now and it has its following! It is probably best used as a sweetener in teas or make into a hot drink. We sell a lot to office workers who just keep a jar on their desk.

If you like ginger and lemon, you will love our Ginger Bee Tonic!
