Rose and lavender infused honey

Infusion preparation consists in extracting the beneficial compounds and aromas of herbs and spices using some kind of liquid. Besides pharmacology, this method can provide great usages also in cooking. We’ve already used the principles of infusion in our floral-flavoured recipes creation, like this rose infused gin cocktail or this lavender milk bedtime recipe. Actually, infusing rose or lavender blossom would work nicely with any kind of neutral in taste alcohol, milk and even water. Well, rose tea is rose infused in hot water, right? Today however we’re about to infuse something less ordinary – honey.

Honey is one of our favourite sweeteners, especially during the cold season. It’s known as great alternative to white sugar, particularly when used in recipes that don’t require high heating of the honey. Row honey is renown also for healing food with series of health benefits, such as antioxidants contents, antibacterial properties, cough relief, digestion support and as a source of energy. When we add the aromatic and beneficial properties of our favourite essential oils containing edible flowers, rose and lavender, we get a crazy, floral, super-version of honey that you simply must try.
