I sell the most delicious honey from a boutique bee keeper in Wellington. I was inspired by Carey when she posted about Rooibos Syrup and Marisa when she mentioned a few interesting flavour combinations, including cinnamon and star anise, to spice up your breakfast. So, I made my own infused honey.
Infused Honey
Ingredients
- a jar of honey
- a 'permanent' tea bag (one you use for loose leaf tea)
- the flavour you want to infuse - I have done lavender, ginger and lime, cinnamon
Method
- place your flavour into the tea bag
- put the tea bag into a glass jar
- cover with honey
- cover the jar with some press and seal or cling wrap
- allow to stand for a week on a windowsill that get sunlight
- remove the tea bag - and enjoy!
My Notes
my next flavour combinations - star anise and cinnamon, lemon

I was searching this and came across your method…brilliant. Going to do some lavender infused honey as gift favors for my wedding!!!
of, that is so great! Did this come up on a google search? My lavender bush was just ready for harvesting when the wind killed it 🙁 Have a lovely day xxx
Ooh, I like this idea, my husband enjoys honey and loves ginger and lime, perfect.
Friday greets to Dave.
the ginger and lime is awesome with my rooibos tea – Friday greets back 🙂
Very clever! Will be trying this for sure.
let me know which flavours you do 🙂
