How to Make Herbal Infused Honey
How to Make Herbal Infused Honey
You will need Honey (preferably raw honey from a local bee keeper),
Fresh or dried herbs such as Lavender, Rose Petals, Lemon Balm, Chamomile, Basil, Ginger, Sage, Peppermint, Cinnamon, Vanilla Beans, Star Anise, or Thyme just to name a few and a Glass jar.
Directions:
Fill a clean glass jar halfway with fresh herbs or a quarter ways with dried herbs
Top with honey, stir and cap with a tight fitting lid
Place in a sunny windowsill and turn the jar over once per day
Add more honey if the herbs swell and rise above the honey
Allow to infuse for 1 week or longer and strain once the desired flavor has been achieved
Enjoy drizzled over desserts, fresh fruit, ice cream, oatmeal, on toast with or without butter, on biscuits, in salad dressings, marinades, sauces, cordials, syrups, or as a sweetener for tea or lemonade.
Our sample just shows lavender, but you can use others including our suggestions below. Get Creative!
