Pour 1 Cup of Honey Into Your Pan and Add 1 Tablespoon of Freshly Grated Lemon Peel. Toss in 2 Slices For Boosted Flavor If You Like. Heat These Together For About 10 Minutes, Making Sure to Keep the Heat Relatively Low. Burned Honey Doesnt Taste as Bad as Some Other Things Do Burned, but You Still Want to Avoid It. Around 115 Degrees Fahrenheit Releases the Flavors Nicely, but It Will Depend on Your Stovetop. After Youve Heated the Mixture, Let It Sit For 1-2 Hours or Up to 1-2 Weeks. After Its Infused Strain If Youd Like, and Place in a Glass Jar With a Tightly Fitting Top. Know the Longer It Sits For the Stronger It Will Taste. |
