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
