Rose and Mint Honey
Ingredients
- 1 part dried herbs equal mix of rose petals and mint leaves, or whatever you like
- 2 parts honey
Instructions
- Fill a clean jar a little less than halfway with dried herbs. It’s important that the herbs are dried because adding water to the mix can dilute the honey and cause mold to form. Honey is antimicrobial, so dried herbs will preserve well.
- Pour honey over herbs, and use a clean utensil to help it seep through the plants. The herbs should be submerged.
- Set the jar in a cool, dark spot and turn it once a day. Let it infuse 1 to 3 weeks. When honey is infused, strain it through cheesecloth or a mesh strainer and put into a clean container. You can save your honey-soaked herbs to add to tea or other drinks.
