Prep Time:10 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups fresh lilac flowers - about 3 bunches of flowers but this is completely up to you!
  • 1 cup of raw local honey still runny

Instructions

  • Pick your lilacs and remove the lilac flowers from the stem. Very gently check and clean the petals for bugs and dirt.

  • Place your lilac flowers in an 8 oz mason jar. Cover flowers completely with raw, local honey. Be careful to ensure the honey is covering all of the plant material to prevent mold.

  • Let flowers and herbs sit and infuse for 4-6 weeks in an airtight container. You can absolutely infuse for less time, this is just recommended for the best flavor and benefits.

  • Strain your flowers and herbs from the honey and use however you'd like!

Notes

The flowers will emerge to the top of the jar, so flip and shake the jar occasionally to ensure they remain covered, or add more honey if needed.
This honey will last up to one year if properly sealed.
Use it anywhere you would use honey: baked goods, herbal tea, cocktails.
