Nutritional benefits
Walnuts are an excellent source of essential minerals such as sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and iron, and regular consumption can contribute to optimal health. They also contain B vitamins, vitamin C, and carotene, having a revitalizing effect on the body. Honey, on the other hand, is a natural sweetener that brings antioxidants and has antibacterial properties. This powerful combination can be successfully consumed in the morning on an empty stomach for an energetic start to the day.
Ingredients
- 800 ml of bee honey, preferably of superior quality
- Walnut core (approximately 400 g) - it is ideal to use fresh, unprocessed walnuts
A bit of history
This simple recipe has deep roots in the culinary traditions of many cultures. Honey has been used for millennia as a sweetener and medicine, while walnuts are considered a symbol of wealth and health. This combination has been used in various forms throughout history, being appreciated both in everyday gastronomy and in special ceremonies.
Preparation technique
1. Preparing the ingredients
Make sure you have a clean, dry 800 ml jar. It is important to use quality honey, ideal for achieving a special taste. Choose fresh walnut core that is not rancid. You can even lightly roast the walnuts in the oven to intensify the flavor, but be careful not to burn them.
2. Filling the jar
Fill the jar halfway with walnut core. If desired, you can cut the walnuts into smaller pieces for a more even distribution.
3. Adding the honey
Slowly pour the honey over the walnut core, ensuring that all the walnuts are covered. The honey will seep between the walnuts, blending the flavors.
4. Mixing
Screw the jar lid on tightly and turn it upside down for a few minutes. This trick allows the honey to mix with the walnuts more effectively.
5. Infusing
Leave the jar at room temperature for 24 hours to allow the flavors to develop. After this time, you can store it in the pantry or refrigerator.
Practical tips
