Thyme Infused Honey

A simple recipe for thyme-infused honey, one of the best herbal remedies to have on hand for the winter season. 
Makes about 1 cup.
Servings: 16
Course: Infused Honey

Ingredients
  

  • Dried or fresh thyme minced
  • Honey

Equipment

  • 1 clean, dry half-pint jar with lid

Method
 

  1. If you’re using fresh thyme, fill your jar ¾ full. If you’re using dried thyme, fill your jar about ⅓ full.
  2. Add enough honey to fill the jar. Using a small spoon or wooden chopstick, give the herbs a good stir so they’re fully incorporated with the honey. This will also work out any air pockets. Top up with honey so the jar is full.
  3. Secure the lid. Place the jar somewhere away from sunlight and let it infuse for at least 2 weeks before using.
  4. Once ready to use, you can either strain out the herbs or leave them in. If you want to strain them out, carefully place the jar in a pot of hot water (without submerging the jar) until the honey is warm and pourable, Then pour through a fine mesh strainer into a separate clean jar.
  5. Label the jar clearly, including the date made. If you used dried herbs, you can store your honey in a cool, dark place. If you used fresh herbs, it’s best to store your honey in the fridge. Use within 1 year.
