Ingredients

Lavender Infused Honey

  • 4 to 5 tablespoons dried lavender flowers

  • 8 ounces (a mason jar) of honey

Vanilla Orange Infused Honey

  • 1 vanilla bean

  • 1 orange

  • 8 ounces honey

Espresso Honey

  • a handful of dark roast coffee beans

  • 8 ounces honey

Spiced Honey

  • 8 ounces honey

Red Chili Hot Honey

  • 2 to 4 dried chilis

  • 8 ounces honey

Directions

Lavender Infused Honey

1.

Add honey to the jar, leaving some space at the top.

2.

Crush lavender flowers and add them to the honey.

3.

Turn the jar upside down and leave it for three to seven days for the infusion to take place (keep turning it halfway every day). You can taste it daily to see if you like the flavor or if you prefer it stronger. The longer you leave it the stronger the taste.

4.

Once your desired level of infusion is achieved, strain your honey into a clean jar—and there you have it! Homemade infused lavender honey.

Tips:

If you want to make a really quick infusion you can also use essential oils. Make sure they are 100% natural and pure and also make sure they are edible (there are some kosher brands). You just need three to four drops of lavender essential oil for an eight-ounce jar of honey. Stir it well and it’s done! You can use any flavored essential oil you like, such as orange, cinnamon, rose, jasmine, clove, etc.

Vanilla Orange Infused Honey

1.

Fill your jar with honey.

2.

Zest the orange, making sure to pat it dry as much as you can to take away the moisture. Add your zest to the jar of honey.

3.

Open up the vanilla bean and add the seeds and the pod into your honey.

4.

Close the jar tightly and turn upside down (keep turning it halfway every day).

5.

Wait between three to seven days to let the infusion take place. The more days you wait, the stronger the flavor. Your infused honey is ready when you reach your desired flavor and intensity. Strain it or leave as is.

Notes:

This is my favorite flavor; it is just the perfect combination of sweet and fragrant with a touch of citrus, not to mention when you pair it with your apple it is absolutely decadent.

Espresso Honey

1.

Add the dark roast coffee beans to your jar.

2.

Add the honey.

3.

Follow the same process as previous flavors.

Spiced Honey

1.

Add the cinnamon sticks, anise stars and whole cloves to your jar.

2.

Add the honey. You can use more of the spices for a stronger flavor.

3.

Follow the same process as previous flavors.

Red Chili Hot Honey

1.

Add honey to your jar and top with chilis, depending on how much spice you like. The longer you let it sit and the more chilis you add, the hotter it’ll be.

2.

Follow the same process as previous flavors.
