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:
It doesn't get any easier than infused honey. Delicious, creative, and powerful medicine. Here's what we've been doing this week:
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.

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. :)
