Ingredients

Honey
Dried lavender
2 glass jars with lids
Metal straw or butterknife or spoon
Saucer or plate
Small mesh strainer

Instructions

Fill your jar ¼ - ½ full with dried lavender.
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.
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.
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.
After 3-4 weeks, take another glass jar and a small mesh strainer. Strain off your lavender honey and discard the used petals.
