It is also wonderful drizzled over steamed vegetables. Or just straight off the spoon as a soothing, Repeat 3-4 times a day.

To make this honey, it’s really easy.

Here’s all you need:

• Squeaky clean 8-ounce jar and lid
• A stir stick, perhaps a chopstick or salad fork
• Saucepan that holds several inches of liquid

Ingredients:

• 2 Tablespoons Organic Dried Sage Leaf
• 1 cup Raw, Local (if possible) Honey

Directions:

Bring 3” of water almost to a boil in a saucepan. Remove the pan from the heat source and allow to cool a bit.

Place your Thyme (or any dried herb that you fancy) in the bottom of the jar. Pour the honey over the herb, to approximately 1/2” from the top of the jar.

Carefully set the jar in the pan of warm water, being careful not to splash any water into the jar. Hold the jar steady with one hand and stir the honey/herb mixture until the two are mixed.

Carefully place the lid on the jar and set in a warm place, perhaps a window sill. Daily, give the jar a little shake. Allow the honey to infuse for two weeks.

When ready to pour off, line a fine sieved strainer with a couple of layers of cheesecloth. Place over a bowl.
