A simple and versatile recipe for three delicious infused honeys—lavender, cinnamon & vanilla, and citrus & ginger—that brighten up your kitchen and suit every taste.

Ingredients

  • Raw Honey (1 1/2 cups / 360 ml)
  • Dried Culinary Lavender Buds (1 tablespoon)
  • Cinnamon Sticks (2 sticks)
  • Vanilla Bean (1 pod, split) or Pure Vanilla Extract (1 teaspoon)
  • Lemon Zest (from 1 medium lemon)
  • Fresh Ginger (1-inch piece, thinly sliced)

Instructions

  1. Warm the raw honey slightly in a small saucepan over low heat until runny (about 100°F or 38°C), avoiding overheating to preserve enzymes and flavor (optional, about 5 minutes).
  2. Divide the honey evenly into three clean jars, about ½ cup (120 ml) each.
  3. For Lavender Honey: Add 1 tablespoon of dried culinary lavender buds to one jar. Stir gently and seal the jar.
  4. For Cinnamon & Vanilla Honey: Add 2 cinnamon sticks and the split vanilla bean pod (or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract) to the second jar. Seal tightly.
  5. For Citrus & Ginger Honey: Add lemon zest and thinly sliced fresh ginger to the third jar. Seal the jar.
  6. Place the jars in a cool, dark place for at least 48 hours to infuse. You can infuse up to 1 week for stronger flavor, tasting daily to find your preferred intensity.
  7. Optional: After infusion, strain each jar through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth if you prefer a smoother honey without solids. Otherwise, leave ingredients in for ongoing flavor.
  8. Store infused honey in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. They keep for up to 3 months. Refrigeration is not necessary but can prolong freshness.
