How to Make Lemon Ginger Infused Honey

  1. Fill the bottom of a double boiler with enough hot water to reach halfway up the sides of the top pan.
  2. Add 1 cup of honey to the top pan of the double boiler.
  3. Add the zest of 1 large lemon (about 1 tablespoon) and 1/4 cup thinly sliced fresh ginger to the honey.
  4. Bring the water in the bottom pan to a gentle boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to maintain a temperature of 185°F (85°C) for 10 minutes. Use a thermometer to monitor the temperature closely.
  5. Remove from heat and let the mixture steep for an additional 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  6. Carefully strain the honey mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth lined strainer into a heatproof bowl, discarding the solids.
  7. Pour the infused honey into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/2 inch of headspace. Seal tightly with lids.
  8. Let cool completely before storing in a cool, dark place. Your Lemon Ginger Infused Honey will keep for several weeks.
