Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup raw honey
- 2 tablespoons dried rose petals (culinary grade)
- 1 tablespoon dried lavender flowers (culinary grade)
- 1 piece cinnamon stick
- 0.5 pod vanilla bean
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest (organic)
Instructions
In a clean, dry glass jar with a tight-fitting lid, add the dried rose petals, dried lavender flowers, the cinnamon stick, and the lemon zest.
Using a sharp knife, carefully split the vanilla bean pod in half lengthwise and scrape out the seeds. Add both the seeds and the pod to the jar.
Pour the raw honey over the herbs and spices, making sure they are completely submerged. Use a clean spoon or chopstick to gently stir and remove any air bubbles.
Seal the jar tightly and store it in a cool, dark place for at least 1-2 weeks to allow the flavors to infuse. Shake the jar gently every few days to ensure even infusion.
Once infused to your desired taste, strain the honey through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean jar to remove the solids, if preferred. Alternatively, you can leave the herbs and spices in for a rustic presentation.
Store the infused honey in a cool, dark place for up to 3 months. Use it as a sweetener for tea, drizzle over desserts, or pair with cheese for a unique flavor experience.
