Description
Raw Sri Lankan honey infused with ginger, black pepper and a small measure of island herbs. It is warmer and sharper than plain honey, with a peppery finish that catches the back of the throat, and it is the jar households reach for on a cold, wet evening.
Every Sri Lankan household has a version of this, and no two are quite the same. Honey in a jar, with ginger, pepper and whatever herbs the family swears by, left to steep.
Ours keeps to the common ground: ginger for warmth, black pepper for the catch at the back of the throat, and a restrained hand with the herbs so it still tastes like honey rather than a decoction.
It works as a spoonful on its own, and it works stirred into a cup of belimal or ginger tea. What it is not is a treatment, and anybody selling it that way is going further than they should.
How to Use
- Take a spoonful on a cold, wet evening
- Stir into belimal or ginger tea once it has cooled a little
- Whisk into a lime and soda over ice
- Brush over roast chicken in the last five minutes

Frequently Asked
Ginger and black pepper do most of the work, with a restrained measure of Sri Lankan herbs behind them. The full list is on the jar. We keep the herb quantity low on purpose, because past a certain point it stops tasting like honey and starts tasting like a decoction.
