Ingredients

Directions

  1. Pour the honey into a small saucepan.
  2. Add your chosen flavoring ingredient (mint, citrus rind, allspice, or red pepper) to the honey and stir to combine.
  3. Warm the mixture over low heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Do not boil or scorch the honey.
  4. Remove from heat and let the mixture stand for at least 2 hours to allow flavors to infuse. For allspice honey, let stand overnight after a second 10-minute warming period.
  5. Strain the infused honey through a fine-mesh sieve into clean jars, discarding the solid ingredients.
  6. Seal the jars tightly and store at room temperature away from direct sunlight.
