How to Make Basil Mint Infused Honey

  1. Fill the bottom of a double boiler with about 2 inches of water.
  2. Add 1 cup of honey and 1 cup of packed fresh basil leaves (or mint leaves, or a combination of both) to the top of the double boiler.
  3. Bring the water in the bottom of the double boiler to a gentle boil.
  4. Once boiling, reduce heat to maintain a temperature of 185°F (85°C) for 10 minutes. Use a candy thermometer to monitor the temperature.
  5. Remove from heat and let the infused honey steep for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  6. Carefully strain the honey through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth-lined strainer into a heatproof bowl, removing all plant matter.
  7. Pour the warm honey into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/2 inch of headspace.
  8. Seal the jars tightly with lids and let cool completely.
  9. Label and decorate your jars for a beautiful and personalized touch!
