Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup dried clover blossoms
- 1 cup raw honey
- 0.5 cup water
- 1 piece cheesecloth or fine strainer
- 1 item sterilized glass jar with lid
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine the dried clover blossoms and water over medium-high heat.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and allow it to simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the clover water infusion cool for 10 to 15 minutes.
Using a cheesecloth or fine strainer, strain the clover water into a clean bowl, pressing the blossoms to extract all the liquid. Discard the used blossoms.
In a separate heatproof bowl, gently warm the raw honey by placing the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double-boiler method). Stir until the honey becomes slightly thinner and more pourable, taking care not to overheat it.
Slowly mix the strained clover water into the warm honey, stirring continuously until the two are fully combined and smooth.
Pour the clover-infused honey into a sterilized glass jar and seal the lid tightly.
Let the honey sit at room temperature for at least 24 hours to allow the flavors to meld together.
Store the homemade cloverleaf honey in a cool, dark place for up to 3 months. Stir well before each use and enjoy!
