How to Make an #herbal Electuary
(“It’s basically just powdered herbs mixed with honey.”)
Ingredients:
Powdered organic herb(s) of choice (recipe ideas below)
Organic honey
Directions:
Pour herbal powder(s) of choice into a bowl.
Slowly pour honey into the bowl with the herbal powder and stir.
When it becomes a thick paste, you are done.
Store in a clean jar and cap tightly.
Electuaries will keep in the fridge for 6 to 12 months (this is probably a conservative amount of time).
Pro Tips:
You can add more honey to the mixture to make a sweeter and thinner product.
Feel free to add herbal tinctures to the mix, too. You’ll see I did in a couple of the recipes below. Two to three dropperfuls will probably suffice, but it’ll depend on how much electuary you are making.
