Lilac Honey

This fragrant easy to make infused honey is a super way to use and enjoy the fabulous lilac blooms

Equipment

  • 1 clean glass jar + lid canning jar is ideal
  • 2 chopsticks or other non-metal utensil

Ingredients

  • Lilac flowers
  • Raw Honey

Instructions

  • Cut the lilac flowers off the stem with scissors and put into a pint size glass canning jar.
  • Fill the jar with lilac blossoms
  • Pour the raw honey into the jar to completely cover the flowers
  • Allow the honey + flowers to sit for a couple of hours.
  • Use a chopstick or other non-metal utensil to poke about the flowers to allow any air bubbles to release
  • Add more honey to the jar to cover the flowers
  • Typically, the lilac flowers will float to the top of the honey.
  • Put the lid on the jar and allow the honey to infuse for a minimum of a week, ideally 4-8 week.
  • Stir the mixture daily (or as often as possible) to boost the infusion
  • When ready, scoop out the flowers with a spoon. (or keep them in the jar, they are edible!)

Notes

Lilac honey will store for at least 6 months in your pantry
