subject: The Health Benefits of Greek Thyme Honey [print this page] One wonderful drink, which I have on a cold morning, or when I have a cold, is Rakomelo. This drink is made from Greek thyme honey and the fiery grape-based spirit, tsipourou, known as raki' in parts of Greece
To about 250 ml of raki, add a couple of cloves, a cinnamon stick, and about 3 teaspoons of Greek thyme honey. Bring to the boil in a small saucepan and simmer for about a minute, then serve.
I sometimes add a little lemon juice or a couple of cardamom pods, too. If you cannot find raki, any bitter spirit is good tequila and absinthe are good, and I have used whisky and rum in a pinch.
