Need an easy homemade gift idea? 

It doesn't get any easier than infused honey.  Delicious, creative, and powerful medicine.  Here's what we've been doing this week:
Picture
1. Start by filling a clean mason jar about 1/3 full of herbs of choice.  Be creative!
Here we chose a mixture of cinnamon, ginger, orange peel, cardamon, clove, allspice, and black pepper.
Mmmmm....warming digestive herbs.

We made another batch with lavender, chamomile, and lemon balm.  I feel more relaxed just thinking about a cup of tea with this to sweeten it.

2. Get a nice big jar of local honey.  Our 5 lb. jar here filled about 2 mason jars.

Still following me?  I know, it's complicated.

Picture
3. Pour honey over herbs until the jar is full.  Place in a sunny windowsill for about 2 weeks.  Strain and pour into pretty bottles. 

Be sure to save some for yourself. :)

Your sweet gift is sure to be a big hit.






Be Well!

Hey, there is a question.
As we know honey is too much concentrated, so will other herbs affect its taste?

Absolutely! Many herbs, when infused, will change the flavor of the honey. Experiment with some of your favorite herbs, and see what happens!
