ROSE PETAL HONEY

Use fresh rose petals, but be absolutely sure that the flowers have not been treated with pesiticide. You can also try this recipe with dried lavender flowers—use 2 tablespoons dried lavender buds in place of the rose petals.

1 cup honey
½ cup fresh rose petals

1. Bring honey to a boil, remove from heat and stir in rose petals.
2. Let sit for four hours, return to a boil, then strain and cool.
