Cinnamon Flavouring Oil

RECIPE NOTES Use: Stir 1 tsp, or to taste, of Herbal Honey into 1 cup (250 mL) of hot water for a sweet and soothing tonic. Add to teas, lattes, tonics and elixirs. Drizzle over toast, porridge, add to salad dressings, and any other dishes that could use a hint of sweetness and spice!

DIRECTIONS *If honey is liquid enough to stir, you may skip the heating process. Remove 2-3 Tbsps of honey from the jar. This is to avoid overfilling. You can reserve the extra honey for use in tea, or other projects.* Fill a medium-sized pot with one and a half inches of water. Place jar of honey into the water bath. The water line should be well below the rim of the jar. Gently warm on the stovetop over low/medium heat. Do not allow water to boil.* Heat for approximately 10 minutes, then remove honey from the water bath. Use caution as the jar will be warm. Dry the outside of jars and carefully remove the lids to check the consistency. The honey does not need to be entirely runny, but it needs to be easily mixable with a spoon. If it is not yet melted enough, return the jar to the water bath, checking frequently.* In a small mixing bowl, combine the powdered herbs and spices. Mix well. Gently fold herbal blend into honey with a small mixing spoon until very well combined. Use a spatula to scrape down the honey from the sides of the jar and off of the spoon. Add 10 - 18 drops of cinnamon flavouring oil to the jar of honey, or to taste, and mix well. Clean any honey from the top ring of the jar before applying the lid. Seal and label.
