Madame Babineau’s Lavender Honey
This honey smells so divine. I love adding it to my morning Earl Grey tea.
24 hour prep time, 15 mins cook time, makes 1 cup
Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp lavender blossoms
- 1 cup honey
Heat honey until thinned. Stir in lavender. Pour into a container (I used a mason jar) and cover at room temperature for 24 hours. Warm again and strain.

- Honey never goes bad. The oldest honey has been found in the tombs of Ancient Egyptians over 3000 years old- and it’s still edible!
