How to Make Herbal Infused Honey

  • Fresh or dried herbs can be used. If using fresh, wash, dry, and allow the plant to wilt to eliminate excessive moisture which can lead to mold
  • Fill a clean jar 1/3 full of your herb (more or less depending on the strength of the flavor you want)
  • Fill the jar to the top with honey. Stir the contents to remove air bubbles, cover, and allow to sit for at least a week. Every day or so, flip the jar over to keep the herbs covered in honey
  • After a week, you can begin enjoying your infused honey
