Notes
Always use culinary-grade dried lavender for the best flavor and food safety.
Different varieties of honey, such as raw wildflower, clover, or orange blossom honey, will create slightly different flavor profiles.
Enjoy lavender infused honey in tea, coffee, lemonade, over warm biscuits, on yogurt, drizzled over fresh fruit or ice cream, or paired with goat cheese.
Stored in a sealed jar at room temperature, this honey will keep for many months.
