Although some people make infused honeys with fresh herbs, this recipe calls for dried herbs in order to limit water activity and the growth of Clostridium botulinum spores. For more details, see Clemson Extension's Is herb-infused honey safe to prepare at home?
Dry herbs can be in the form of whole sprigs or separated leaves, buds, and petals. Chopped or crushed herbs infuse honey more quickly, but they may are harder to strain out.
To achieve a stronger flavor, allow the herbs to infuse longer.
You can also get creative and prepare a blend with multiple herbs to make your own signature honey!
