We love infusing our personal honey. Bear in mind making potions as a child? This is rather like that — just for grown-ups. Infused honeys are fast and straightforward to make, they usually open the door to a world of creative taste. The natural base notes on this fragrant mixture of thyme, Meyer lemon and bay leaf-infused honey complement its sweetness completely.
Our recipe is straightforward, calling for only a few substances, a little bit warmth and a little bit time. We selected Meyer lemons as a result of they’re sweeter and extra aromatic than your common grocery store lemon, however be at liberty to substitute one other sort of lemon or in-season citrus fruit in case you like. We made issues even zingier with lemon thyme due to its piquant aroma and floral taste, which pairs properly with the bay leaves and citrus, however any available thyme will work.
We suggest drizzling this pleasant infusion over our Bianco-Impressed Pistachio Pizza. You too can use it as an alternative choice to common honey in topping recipes, or as a dip for crusts. When you’d prefer to broaden your honey repertoire, take a look at our chipotle honey recipe or purchase a bottle of Mike’s Sizzling Honey.
