Calories
Ingredients
- ¼ cup dried lavender blossoms (Lavandula augustifolia)
- 1 cup light colored raw honey or your favorite honey)
Instructions
- Pour the honey over the blossoms and then stir to make sure the honey and blossoms are well-combined.
- Place the jar in a warm spot away from direct sunlight. The top of the fridge is a good, warm spot.
- Allow the honey to infuse for 1-4 weeks, turning the jar over every day to redistribute the blossoms.
- When the honey has reached the flavor intensity that suits you, place a mesh strainer over a medium bowl and pour the honey mixture into the strainer. Because honey is so thick it will take a long time to strain, so wait a few hours before checking on it.
- Once you've finished straining out the lavender buds, don't toss them! Store them in the fridge and stir them into tea for an extra flavor boost.
