Ingredients:
- 1 cup good quality pure floral honey
- 5 sticks cinnamon
Directions:
- Add honey and cinnamon sticks to a pot and warm over low heat. Make sure the honey does not come to a boil (you’ll lose some of its health benefits and it will also create a huge mess if it boils over). Cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Remove honey from heat and set aside to cool. While the honey is still warm, pour it into a glass jar with a few of the cinnamon sticks. The longer the honey sits, the more of a cinnamon flavor it will take on. You can taste it periodically and remove the cinnamon sticks once the honey has reached your desired taste.
Variation: You can infuse honey with all different herbs and spices including vanilla, rosemary, thyme, cloves, cardamom, chamomile, lavender, rose petals, lemon or even chilies. Use approximately ½ cup herbs (unless they are very pungent) to 1-2 cups honey. Strain the honey from the herbs or spices when you are done steeping.
