Five honeys worth infusing
Infused honey is the easiest preparation in the entire apothecary: put something good in honey, wait, spoon it out all season. Start with garlic — the old standby — and work down the list.
| Jar | Season | How it's made |
|---|---|---|
| Garlic honey | cold season | one crushed clove, rested ten days |
| Ginger honey | scratchy mornings | sliced thin, spooned into tea |
| Lemon honey | kept in the fridge | whole slices, ready for cups |
| Cinnamon honey | toast & porridge | two sticks in a small jar |
| Elderberry honey | the dark months | dried berries, three weeks' patience |
Small jars, always labeled, kept where you can see them. Honey is a preserver, but a month is a good honest lifespan for anything with fresh ingredients in it — refrigerate lemon and garlic jars.
Keep this one — and get early access.
