Homemade Lavender Honey From South West France - cooking recipe

Ingredients

8 ounces light honey, such as flower honey or, clover honey
4 tablespoons dried lavender flowers

Preparation

Heat honey in a bowl over boiling water (a bain-marie) until very hot, but NOT boiling, then add the lavender flowers and stir well.
Continue to heat over a low heat for 30 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool a little before covering with a net or fly cover and placing in the sun for about 3 to 4 hours.
Pour the honey through a mesh sieve and discard the cooked lavender.
Put honey in jar, cover tightly and label. Keeps like normal honey, but is best in a cool, dark and dry place.
