Infused Honey and Other Ideas for Honey Gifts
Infused honey is another great idea for honey gifts.
“The natural flavors of the honey and the herbs will come together for a delicate waltz of sweet floral and earthy tones. You can then use your herbed-honey for baking, dressings, sauces, beverages, or simply drizzled over warm bread.” – www.aspicyperspective.com
