Ingredients

• 1 cup raw honey
• 2 tablespoons dried rose petals (culinary grade)
• 1 tablespoon dried lavender flowers (culinary grade)
• 1 piece cinnamon stick
• 0.5 pod vanilla bean
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest (organic)

Directions

Step 1

In a clean, dry glass jar with a tight-fitting lid, add the dried rose petals, dried lavender flowers, the cinnamon stick, and the lemon zest.

Step 2

Using a sharp knife, carefully split the vanilla bean pod in half lengthwise and scrape out the seeds. Add both the seeds and the pod to the jar.

Step 3

Pour the raw honey over the herbs and spices, making sure they are completely submerged. Use a clean spoon or chopstick to gently stir and remove any air bubbles.

Step 4

Seal the jar tightly and store it in a cool, dark place for at least 1-2 weeks to allow the flavors to infuse. Shake the jar gently every few days to ensure even infusion.

Step 5

Once infused to your desired taste, strain the honey through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean jar to remove the solids, if preferred. Alternatively, you can leave the herbs and spices in for a rustic presentation.

Step 6

Store the infused honey in a cool, dark place for up to 3 months. Use it as a sweetener for tea, drizzle over desserts, or pair with cheese for a unique flavor experience.
