Flavored Honeys

Luckily, flavored honeys are very easy to create, and they make wonderful gifts, too. You can use many different herbs and spices, alone or in combination, but do make sure that none of it has been sprayed with something noxious.

Here are some ideas to play with. To each cup of pasteurized honey (light or dark–your choice), use one of the following herbs, in the approximate amounts suggested. You can combine herbs, of course. If you do, reduce the amounts proportionally. For example, if you combine basil and cinnamon, use 2 basil leaves and 2 cinnamon sticks. Rinse and dry the plant material.

To a cup of honey, add one or more of these flavorings:

• 1/2 cup fragrant rose petals

• 4 tablespoons fresh lavender flowers

• 3-4 lemon or rose geranium leaves

• 3 sprigs rosemary

• 3 sprigs thyme

• 4 basil leaves

• 4-5 cinnamon sticks

• 1/4 cup chopped ginger root

• 3 teaspoons orange zest or lemon zest

In a non-reactive saucepan, heat the honey to 180 degrees. Put the herbs in a clean jar and add the warm honey. Cap tightly and let sit for a few days before using. Wonderful on waffles, pancakes, toast, ice cream, and fruit. Please remember: it’s never a good idea to give honey to an infant.
