Honey Infusions

Ingredients
- 500 ml honey
Suggested infusions:
- 1/2 cup dried chamomile (calming)
- or
- 1 cup fresh thyme, dried out overnight (soothing)
- or
- 1/2 cup freshly roasted coffee beans (invigorating)
Instructions
- Add your chosen infusing ingredients to a 500ml jar or split across two 250ml jars.
- Top with honey, stopping to stir around half way. Fill to almost to the top and screw on the lid tight.
- Store the jar in a sunny spot on the kitchen bench, the gentle warmth will help the infusion process. To disperse the ingredients, gently shake and invert the jar every day or two.
- After 3-4 weeks your honey infusion will be full of new flavours and aromas. Decant and strain through a very fine sieve into a freshly cleaned jar.
- Store your infused honey in a cool, dark place in a tightly sealed jar to help maintain optimal freshness.
To use

Notes
When creating your infusion, please make sure you are using dried ingredients. Things like fruits and vegetables will start to ferment.
