We prepare the ingredients:

- wash the lemon well and cut a few thin slices.
Place in the jar, in layers: the lemon slices, aronia (chokeberry) and sliced ginger, until the jar is full.
We pour the honey, little by little, patiently, so that it drains well between the aronia berries, the ginger slices and the lemon slices, until they are covered.- Close the jar tightly and leave it to macerate in the refrigerator for 1 week, after which the contents can be consumed.
