Infused Honey

Honey infusions are a trendy and tasty way to influence your honey's taste profile. While our bees feast on clover, thyme, lavender, and whatever else is blooming, identifying a particular flower in the taste profile can be challenging. Soaking an ingredient or ingredients in raw honey makes honey infused.

While raw honey is shelf stable, any additives can cause honey to spoil. Wet additives spoil more quickly than dry. Keep infused honey refrigerated.

We will infuse the honey for you if you preorder it. Allow 3 days to 2 weeks for it to be ready. We make 2 jars at a time, one for us and one for you. That keeps us from having to open yours to taste to see if it is ready. Email lazyebees@gmail.com to preorder.

You can infuse honey at home. Choose your herb, pepper, or infusion of choice. I particularly like cinnamon and clove honey, thyme honey, lavender honey, and jalapeno honey.

Clean all ingredients well. Drop it/them into the jar of honey. Turn the bottle over top to bottom a few times a day, just whenever you think of it. No heat is needed. Open and taste the honey to determine readiness after 3-5 days. Two weeks is the longest amount of time that we've ever experienced to get the desired flavor. We've found that with peppers, honey becomes quite runny due to the high water content in a pepper. Keep infused honey refrigerated.

You can use this method to infuse olive oil, vodka, and whatever else you like.
