16 ounce jar with lid
Mesh strainer
- 8 ounces clover honey
- 1 Tablespoon dried flowers lavender, roses, chamomile, etc. OR 1 teaspoon dried herbs (not ground) OR whole spices
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.
Store in a dark cupboard. Will keep a very long time.
