Ingredients

  • Honey
  • Thyme dried or fresh

Instructions

  • Fill your jar ¼ - ½ full with dried or fresh thyme. (See notes if using fresh herbs!)
  • Cover with honey. Once the jar is almost full, use a butter knife 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 thyme 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 thyme infused honey and discard the used herbs. Label appropriately!

Notes

  • Disclaimer: This statement has not been evaluated by the FDA. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. This information is for educational purposes only and is not intended to take the place of individual medical care. Do not serve honey to children under one year of age.
  • If using fresh thyme, ensure that it has NOT been treated with any chemicals or pesticides. Make sure they are properly washed and fully dried off before using. Forage or harvest responsibly.
  • When using fresh thyme: Wash and pat dry before laying out on a clean towel or drying rack overnight to help ensure there is no excess moisture.
  • Whole sprigs of thyme are easier to work with than chopped or crushed for this thyme infused honey.
  • But if you need to buy dried thyme that is just the leaves, that's okay too!
  • Be sure that the sprigs are fully covered in honey and that there are no air pockets.
  • Wait 3-4 weeks before straining.
  • Store for up to 1 year with a lid on. Label appropriately!
