Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 cup dried culinary lavender
  • 1 cup honey

Instructions
 

Raw Honey Method

  • Add lavender to a glass jar with a tight fitting lid, then pour honey over top
  • Stir the honey and lavender together until evenly coated
  • Place the jar in the pantry out of direct sunlight and let steep for 2 weeks (turn the jar upside down for 5 minutes each day to mix the lavender)
  • After the 2 weeks, gently warm the honey by placing the jar in a warm bowl of water
  • Strain into a clean glass jar using a fine mesh sieve, secure with a tight fitting lid and store back in the pantry

Stovetop Method

  • Add lavender and honey to a pot on the stovetop
  • Turn your burner on low and stir the honey as it heats up (important not to let it boil)
  • Watch for tiny bubbles to form within the honey - this will tell you it is just about to boil
  • Remove from the heat and let it cool - repeat this heating process 2-3 times throughout the day
  • The last time you heat the honey, strain it through a mesh sieve into a clean glass jar with a tight fitting lid
  • Store out of direct sunlight, at room temperature in the pantry
