Equipment

  • 16 ounce jar with lid
  • Mesh strainer

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces clover honey
  • 1 Tablespoon dried flowers lavender, roses, chamomile, etc. OR 1 teaspoon dried herbs (not ground) OR whole spices

Instructions

  • Place the desired amount of herbs and spices in a small jar (I fill the jar roughly ½ - ⅔ full, but the exact amount doesn't matter).
  • Fill the rest of the way with honey.
  • Top it with a lid and give it a good shake. Place it somewhere dark and cool for a few weeks. Taste it periodically to see how strong the flavor has become. Shake it every now and then, too, to keep the herbs and honey well mixed.
  • When it tastes the way you want it to, strain out the flowers, herbs or spices and place it back into a jar with a tight-fitting lid.

Notes

Store in a dark cupboard. Will keep a very long time.
