Preparation

Step 1

Combine everything except the coconut oil into a saucepan and bring to a simmer.

Let the mixture bubble gently for about 5 minutes, then shut off the heat.

After about 5 minutes of cooling, strain the mixture through a few layers of cheesecloth or a very fine strainer if you prefer a smoother texture.

Stir in the coconut oil.

Taste and add maple syrup, honey or stevia if desired!
