What You Need to Know About Infused Honey

Honey has been used as a natural remedy for centuries and is known for its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties.

When using infused honey medicinally, start with a small amount and wait at least 30 minutes before consuming more. The effects of active compounds can vary significantly from person to person, so it's essential to find what works best for you through trial and error.

Before you rush and get the ingredients to make infused honey - we need to discuss the important first step - Decarboxylation!

Get The Most Out of Your Herb With A Decarboxylator Machine

Decarboxylation is the process that activates the compounds in your favorite herbs so that they can be infused into the honey.

When it comes to decarboxylation, precision is key.

Using your oven to decarboxylate your herb requires a lot of manual monitoring and adjusting.

The ONGROK Decarboxylator machine ensures lab-grade temperature control throughout the entire process.

With this machine, you can activate all your materials with ease and confidence, knowing that you're achieving perfect results every time.

The ONGROK Decarboxylator machine has a simple one-button functionality. Press the power button to turn it on, then press it again to initiate a decarb cycle. It's that easy!

How To Make Infused Honey with a Botanical Infuser Machine

Ingredients:

• ¼-½ ounce (7-14 g) of decarboxylated botanicals per cup (240 ml)

• 2½ cups (591 ml) of honey 

• 1 tablespoon (14 ml) of distilled water per cup (236 ml) of honey

• Botanical Infuser Machine

Directions:

• Place the ingredients inside your ONGROK Botanical Infuser and ensure the lid is securely closed.

• Press the Temperature button and select 130°F (54°C). If the lowest option on your machine is 160°F (71°C), use that setting.

• Press the 1 Hour/Oil button to start the cycle.

• After the cycle, disconnect the machine's power cord.

• Strain the infused honey through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove any botanical remnants, ensuring a smooth and pure consistency.

• Then let your honey cool until it's just warm before transferring to an airtight jar.

Store it in a dark, cool place, and enjoy!

Top Tip: Experiment with different sweeteners like agave nectar, maple syrup, or molasses to create unique flavors when making infused syrup with a botanical infuser machine. Substitute the honey in the recipe with an equal amount of your chosen sweetener and follow the same instructions for a delicious variation.

How to Store and Preserve Your Infused Honey

Here are some tips on how to store and preserve your infused honey:

• If you plan on storing your infused honey for more than a couple of weeks, keep it in the refrigerator. This will help it last longer.

• When ready to use your infused honey, remove it from the fridge and let it come to room temperature. This will make it easier to measure and use.

• Avoid exposing your infused honey to high temperatures and direct sunlight. The heat can degrade the active compounds' content, and the UV rays can damage the honey. Keep your infused honey in an airtight container.
