Re: ? about herb ..

If properly stored, honey will not spoil: A pot of honey found in an ancient Egyptian tomb was proved to be as wholesome as fresh honey. However, honey will ferment if it is diluted by moisture from the atmosphere or by other liquids. Prevent fermentation by keeping honey containers tightly sealed before and between uses. Was the horehound moist? Fresh and rinsed and added to the honey?? How did you make it?

I made herbal cough syrup a several months ago.. Honey and horehound is all that is in it.. How do you know if this has gone bad? I went to get some tonight and it had a lot of presure when opening it and was kinda foamy at the top.. I didn't use it cuz I don't know if it is spoiled.. I thought honey was suppose to preserve it..any advise for me..

My guess is the water did it, along with it not being refrigerated and I believe it would only keep maybe a couple weeks... . I think if it were me I would dump it. Honey doesn't spoil by itself.

Try tincturing the horehound in acv then you can add the two together as needed.

That is what I thought too that honey did not spoil.. but I didn't know that it could ferment.. the way I made the syrup was with dried horehound steeped in water, let it cool then added to honey.. I stored it in a amber glass jar with a poly cap.. it was stored properly. I don't know how to tell if it is fermented or not.. And if it is formented can it be used or do I need to throw it out? shalom Eibhlin
