    What is lavender infused honey?

    Lavender infused honey is a simple herbal infusion that tastes as good as it smells! When you cover lavender in honey for a few weeks (occasionally agitating the mixture by flipping the jar and/or opening the lid to stir) and then strain it off you are left with a lovely infused honey that can be used in a variety of ways.

    Where can I buy dried lavender?

    While some people are blessed with a local lavender farm nearby, most of us have to turn to trusted online sources. I buy from Mountain Rose Herbs as well as Amazon! Just be sure it is food-grade lavender since some products are intended for applications other than consumption (such as decorative uses!)

    Ways to use it

    Lavender infused honey can be used in many different ways!

    • Sweeten beverages - Honey is one of my favorite natural sweeteners for both hot and cold beverages! Use it in your tea, coffee, lemonade, or sweet tea! (I love to use this in place of plain honey in my lavender honey lemonade.)
    • Oatmeal - Overnight oats, fresh oatmeal hot off the stove, oatmeal bakes...however you enjoy your oatmeal, this is sure to be a lovely topping!
    • Pancakes - Pour lavender infused honey over a stack of pancakes in place of maple syrup for a sweet change-up.
    • Granola - Use this to naturally sweeten your homemade granola. (We make it for a topping and also make our own granola bars!)
    • Charcuterie - Be sure to label this with a toothpick sign on your next charcuterie board so your guests can try it out! It's a unique touch to your board for all those sweet options.
    • Ice cream - Add it to your homemade honey-sweetened ice cream recipe or drizzle a little on your ice cream before enjoying!
    • Toast and beyond - Spread this on your toast, bagels, croissants, etc!
    • Yogurt - Add flavor to plain Greek yogurt, or any kind you prefer, by pouring in a little lavender honey.
    • Baked goods - This can be used in almost any recipe that calls for honey as its sweetener! Just be sure the flavors go well together.

    What you need

    • Honey
    • Dried lavender
    • 2 glass jars with lids
    • Metal straw or butterknife or spoon

    How to make Lavender Infused Honey

    1. Fill your jar ¼ - ½ full with dried lavender.

    2. Cover with honey. Once the jar is almost full, use a metal straw (or butterknife or spoon) to poke around and ensure everything is fully covered with honey and there are no air pockets.

    3. Place the lid on the jar. Flip it upside down on a saucer or plate and allow it to all settle to the bottom. Once that happens, flip it back over right side up. Leave on the saucer or plate through this process to catch any leaking honey.

    4. Allow the lavender honey to infuse for 3-4 weeks. Occasionally flip the jar over on the saucer or plate to mix it up and remove the lid now and then to stir it.

    5. After 3-4 weeks, take another glass jar and a small mesh strainer. Strain off your lavender honey and discard the used petals.
