For an added layer of flavor, consider infusing the honey with ginger or star anise beforehand. Adjust the amount of bourbon to suit your personal preference. For a non-alcoholic version, substitute the bourbon with strong brewed ginger tea. Ensure the water is hot but not boiling to preserve the beneficial properties of the honey.
