Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Raw honey
- 1 tablespoon Dried culinary lavender
- 1 piece Cheesecloth or fine-mesh strainer
- 1 piece Sterilized glass jar
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine the raw honey and dried culinary lavender.
Heat the mixture over low heat, stirring gently to prevent the honey from boiling. Allow the lavender to steep in the honey for 15-20 minutes until the floral aroma infuses fully.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the honey cool slightly for 5 minutes.
Use a cheesecloth or a fine-mesh strainer to strain the lavender out of the honey. Pour the infused honey into a sterilized glass jar.
Seal the jar tightly and let the honey sit for at least 24 hours to deepen the flavor.
Store the lavender honey in a cool, dark place and use as desired. It will stay fresh for several months.
