Ingredients
- 7.9oz light honey (such as flower honey or clover honey)
- 4 tablespoons dried lavender flowers
Directions
Step 1
Heat honey in a heatproof bowl over boiling water (a bain-marie) until very hot, but NOT boiling, then add the lavender flowers and stir well.
Step 2
Continue to heat over a low heat for 30 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool a little before covering with a net or fly cover and placing in the sun for about 3 to 4 hours.
Step 3
Pour the honey through a mesh sieve and discard the cooked lavender flowers.
Finally pour the honey in to a sterilised jar, cover tightly and label. Keeps like normal honey, but is best in a cool, dark and dry place.
