Jasmine green tea imparts a delicate, earthy flavor and beautiful floral fragrance to the honey. Using teabags makes the process super-simple.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup light honey such as wildflower or clover honey
  • 4 jasmine green tea bags or loose tea bundled in cheesecloth or muslin

Instructions
 

  • Add water to the bottom of a double-boiler set over medium heat and add honey to the top. Stir teabags gently into honey. Cook until honey reaches 185°F on a candy thermometer. Maintain temperature 10 minutes (do not boil). Remove from heat and let stand 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove tea bags (squeeze off any honey that clings to the bags) and pour honey into a sterilized 8-ounce glass jar. Store at room temperature up to 6 months.

Notes

PAIR WITH:
Great Hill Blue. The floral honey is an ideal counterpoint to this salty, funky wedge. Serve with crispy thin rice crackers.
