Ingredients
- 16- ounce jar of local honey
- ΒΌ cup fresh chopped herbs or 2 tablespoons dried herbs any variety
Instructions
- Place an open jar of honey in a small saucepan filled with 1-2 inches of water. Heat the water until the honey is warm and runny, ensuring it does not boil.
- Carefully remove the jar from the water bath and add your chosen herbs directly into the honey.
- Seal the jar tightly and give it a good shake to mix everything together.
- Place the jar in a sunny window and let it infuse for 1 to 5 days, depending on how strong you want the flavor.
- After infusing, reheat the jar in the water bath until the honey is runny again. Set a fine mesh strainer over a clean bowl and pour the infused honey through it to remove the herbs.
- Pour the strained honey back into its original jar or another clean container. Store in a cool, dark place for up to six months.
