Vanilla Honey

Recipe Description:

I cannot wait to share this with you! I made this a week ago and I don’t know why I waited this long to share it! I think it’s because I didn’t get around to taking pictures that day, and by the time I wanted to..it was all eaten! My mom and sister LOVE vanilla and honey, so this quickly turned into their favorite. We use it in everything we would put honey it, It is that good!! Enjoy 🙂

Prep Time: 4 Minutes

Cook Time: n/a

Servings: 2 cups

Difficulty: Easy

Recipe Ingredients:

1 pint of raw honey (2 cups)

1 vanilla bean

Recipe Instructions:

Cut open 1 vanilla bean. You will have to push firm to open the skin, but not too firm that you cut the whole thing in half!

Peel away the sides of the vanilla bean with your knife and fingers.

Scrape out the vanilla bean seeds with your knife. Don’t worry if you can’t get all of them out, because you are putting the whole pod in the honey jar anyways.

Set your scraped vanilla pod seeds off to the side. I got about 1/2 a tsp out of 1 plump vanilla bean.

Chop or cut (with kitchen scissors) your hollowed vanilla bean into thirds.

Drop your hollowed chopped vanilla pods into your honey jar. I used and old (pint size) honey jar for this recipe.

Pour 2 cups of honey into your honey jar.

Carefully drop your pile of vanilla bean seeds into your jar filled with honey.

Stir, stir, stir. I stir my honey and vanilla with a kabob stick. I use an up and down motion because the seeds like to float to the top.

To get maximum flavor, infuse your honey in the sunlight for 1-2 weeks. After 1 week, the flavor and scent will be much stronger. When the vanilla flavor is strong enough for your taste, put it back where you usually keep the honey. It will keep just as long as a jar of regular honey will.

*Before using, stir because the vanilla pod seeds tend to migrate towards the top.

Use vanilla honey in anything you would normally use honey and vanilla in. Get creative! We put ours in raw milk kefir, coconut butter, coconut milk ice-cream, pancakes, and tea lattes!
