Lavender

Infused Honey
BY ROSALEE DE LA FORÊT

A delicious way to enjoy lavender is to infuse it into honey! This simple treat is so delicious and it
also makes a lovely gift. Lavender honey can be added to teas or even drizzled on toast, pastries, or
ice cream! As you can see, it’s super simple to make and it’s absolutely yummy.

ingredients directions
1 cup honey Fill a half pint jar halfway with honey.
1 tablespoon dried or fresh lavender buds Add the lavender flower buds.
Fill the rest of the jar with honey.
Cover with a tight fitting lid on this, label it,
Yield: 1 cup and leave it on the counter. For the next
week, turn the jar upside down 2-3 times a
day. This helps to infuse the lavender into
the honey.
After a week, give it a taste to see if the
aromas have infused. If it tastes sweet and
lavender-y then you can start using it right
away. If desired, you can let it sit longer for a
stronger flavor. There’s no reason to strain
the flowers from the honey, but you can if
you’d like.
You can use this simple recipe as a starting
point, then experiment with adding various
amounts of lavender. Just remember to go
easy on how much lavender you use so that
it retains a pleasant flavor without being
overly bitter or too perfumy.
