Electuaries

 An electuary is a combination of powdered herbs stirred into honey or vegetable glycerin to form a pasty mass. It is particularly useful as a children's remedy.

Preparation

 Place herbs into a jar and grind into a powder. Pour honey or vegetable glycerin into the mixture and blend to form a thick paste. Spoon into labeled jars.
