 Made my first infused honey today. Been thinking about it for a while, finally got supplies and did the thing. Birch and lavender, and oh goodness it's tasty! I think it needs one more ingredient to really round the flavor out, but I'm not sure what just yet. I'm leaning towards something earthy and dark, but I'll have to think about it while enjoying this batch. Maybe just manuka honey for a base instead of the cheap clover honey. No way I was gonna risk wasting my good manuka on a test batch that might not have turned out well, shit's expensive! But now that I know I can make a good infused honey, it might be worth doing. On the other hand though, the manuka's already just super delicious, and if I can get the final kind of flavor I'm after by just adding a third ingredient instead that would definitely be a less expensive thing. 

Even so, this is already just so yum. Been enjoying it on fresh baking powder biscuits this evening that my boyfriend made while I did the honey.
