Recipe type: Dessert
Cuisine: Paleo Autoimmune Protocol
Serves: 1 cup
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup dried chamomile flowers
- 1/4 cup dried lavender flowers
- 1 cup raw honey (mild flavored)
- Special equipment needed: glass jar with lid, strainer.
Instructions
- Place chamomile and lavender at the bottom of the glass jar and pour honey over. Close the lid tightly.
- Let the herbs infuse for 2 weeks. The herbs will float to the top, so turn the jar over everyday to keep them well coated with honey.
- After 2 weeks, fill the bottom of a small pan with 1 inch of hot tap water and place the jar of honey, without the lid, in the water.
- Warm up honey slowly over medium heat until melted, about 5 minutes. (Don't worry, the water won't have time to come to a boil and the heat will stay low to preserve the honey).
- Strain liquid honey into a clean glass jar.
- Small particles of chamomile and lavender will pass through the strainer. That's ok, they will rise to the surface within 2 days and you can scoop them out.
- You can use the leftover herbs in the strainer to make a tisane!
- Store honey in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and high temperatures.
- Enjoy this infused honey with your favorite tea!
