Preparation

Peel the green walnuts, extract their core (kernels) and press them into a jar until it is full.
⚠ The walnut kernel can be peeled from that shell, but we don't recommend it because although it will taste a little more bitter, that's where the most important nutrients are.
Pour the honey into the jar patiently until it flows through the green walnut core. It is recommended to use a honey that is as fluid as possible.
The jar is closed hermetically and will be left to macerate for 4 weeks in a cool and dark place (kettle, refrigerator).
After opening, it must be stored in the refrigerator.

The shell of the core and the woody part of green walnuts can be used to make a green walnut tincture.
