Lavender-Infused Honey & Orange-Infused Honey

Say, “Good-bye” to boring honey. For real. Go ahead– I’ll wait.

Honey by itself is good, but why shouldn’t it be irresistible? I can’t think of a reason. Lavender and orange, can’t go wrong with those flavors. Both are tasty in lattes, baked goods, and anywhere else you routinely use honey.

Not only will you be doing cartwheels over how delicious your morning coffee is, you will congratulate yourself on being a master chef, *applause and cheering* because each honey flavor requires only two ingredients and you can make them both in 10 minutes. *dorky smirk and eyebrow raising*

I do have to say that honey is still sugar and I know that lavender and orange are you favorite flavors, but don’t go sticking a straw in the jar and sippin’ the day away. You will have a stomach ache and your dentist will be sending me an angry email. Just try to control yourself, okay. *she says to herself*

Ok, enough babbling. Let’s get to those recipes.
