- 1 tablespoon (15) lemon juice
- 2 tea bags Chamomile
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine apple juice, sugar, and lemon juice.
- Bring to a rapid boil over high heat.
- Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 35-45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- At the 10-minute mark of the cooking process, add 2 chamomile tea bags to the pot and let steep for 10 minutes.
- Remove the pot from heat and allow the honey to cool.
- Strain the honey through a fine-mesh sieve (optional).
- Transfer the honey to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate for 2-3 hours.
Notes
Consistancy -
- For a thicker texture, continue to cook the honey over medium heat after removing the tea bags until it reaches the desired thickness.
- If the honey is not as thick as desired after refrigerating, you can return it to a saucepan and cook over medium heat until it reaches the desired thickness.
- If the consistency is too thin, return it to a saucepan at any time and cook until the desired thickness is reached.
- Honey will take a few hours to thicken. Always make it at least 3 hours before you plan on using it.
- Once the honey has been set in the refrigerator, it can be stored on the countertop in an airtight container for up to one week.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one month.
