I tried making Lavender Honey and it was delicious! Honey in and of itself is nourishing, and Lavender is good for calming the nerves and relieving depression.
Lavender is a very strong smelling herb which is why it's very good for this project.
I used a pint jar and filled it 1/4 full of dried Lavender flowers.
Then I filled the jar with natural honey, up to about where the lid will come down to when you put it on.
Stir it up and put your lid on tight.
It sits for a total of three weeks, the first week stir it every day (but I wouldn't stress over that if I was you) then just let it sit for the next to weeks. And then Strain it at the end of the three weeks.
Don't forget to lable it! There are some unidentified creations at our house that we don't have the heart to get rid of but we can't use them because we don't know what they are.
Fun Fact: Lavenders Latin name- Lavendula Angustifolia
