Procedure

  1. Rinse dried or fresh flowers and let them drip; with fresh flowers, air-dry briefly on a rack so they do not release too much water.
  2. In a clean jar, alternate layers of flowers and runny honey (about 1 : 2 flower to honey by volume).
  3. Close and macerate 2–4 weeks in a warm shady spot, turning occasionally; strain through cloth and store the honey dry.
