Honey contains over 60 enzymes, vitamins, and minerals. If you consume 50 grams of honey daily in several doses for two months, your overall health will noticeably improve. And that’s just a child’s dose; adults are recommended to consume twice that amount. Raspberries stand out among berries for their high concentration of vitamins and antioxidants. Vitamins C and E, flavonoids, anthocyanins, phenolic compounds, and carotenoids help rejuvenate, detoxify, and combat cancer. Some doctors recommend drinking 275 ml of raspberry juice daily to help reduce the risk of vascular problems. With a low calorie count (52 kcal/100 g) and the ability to boost metabolism and break down fat, this berry is a popular choice in weight-loss diets. Raspberries are refreshing and soothing, whether used as a drink or for skincare.
Ingredients: raspberries – 1 kg; honey – 400 g; vinegar – 400 ml.
Soak the raspberries in the vinegar for five days, stirring and mashing the berries periodically with a spoon. Strain the mixture and heat it over low heat for five minutes (do not bring it to a boil). Let it cool slightly, add the honey, mix well, and pour into bottles while still warm. To prepare the tonic drink, add 3 tablespoons of the raspberry-honey tonic to a glass of water.

The base temperature for adding honey should be below 42°C to preserve honey’s antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. Honey is often more beneficial when eaten directly rather than dissolved in hot liquids, since dissolved honey is not always well absorbed. For facial care, the raspberry-honey tonic moisturizes, balances skin pH after washing, and prepares the skin for better absorption of creams and other skincare products.
