Made a trip to an area appetizer shop (Zabar's) and on an impulse, I bought three jars of infused honeys.
All by Palette Foods www.palettefinefoods.com
Ones star anise, ones crushed chilis, ones lavender. The lavender I got for Earl Grey or Lady Grey tea. The star anise I figure for glazing chicken.
The lavender is mild. If its possible, it seems more of a sensation on the palate than an actual flavor. Yet there is an actual flavor there.

Mix em together, gets extra thick and chewy, yum.
You could live off this and water. Add other fungi and herbs and make a super tonic when having vital strenth is important.

Re: infused honeys
Thu, May 5, 2005 - 11:04 PMyou can infuse honey by putting the material to be infused with in a jar (for example fresh rose petals) and then pouring honey into the jar untill it is full.
depending on the material it will take somewhere between a few weeks and waaaay longer (i infuse my rose honey for a year, but my garlic honey for only a few weeks)
i have heard that warming the whole sticky mess in a double boiler (like when infusing oils with herbs) speeds the process but it seems too wasteful to me so i have not tried it that way.
BTW: rose petal honey is glorious!
