Spiced Orange Honey
This spiced orange honey is sweet, citrusy and has that teeny hint of spice from the cinnamon. It's the perfect infused honey recipe to try!
Ingredients
- 2 cups raw honey
- 1-2 cinnamon sticks
- 1 orange zested
Instructions
- Peel the zest off an orange into thin strips using a vegetable peeler.
- Add it to a saucepan along with the honey and cinnamon and let it cook for 10-12 minutes on low heat.
- Take it off heat, allow it to cool down completely and then strain the honey into a glass jar.
- Store the infused honey in a cool and dark place at room temperature for up to 3 months.
Notes
- To get the infused honey to have a more deeper flavor, let the orange zest and cinnamon sticks stay in the honey for a couple of days, and then strain them out.
- Use a sharp knife to peel the zest off the oranges. Make sure you don't use the white pith, as it can be quite bitter.
- If you want the honey to last longer, consider using dried orange zest instead of the fresh ones. Fresh orange zest can have a bit of moisture, which can cause the honey to spoil if stored for too long.
- Don't discard the honey-soaked orange zest that you just removed. Just store them in a small container in the refrigerator and add a couple to your freshly brewed tea to add that amazing flavor to it.
- Make sure you wash and scrub your oranges nicely before you zest them. Don't forget to pat them dry too.
