Rose Infused Honey

February 7, 2021 · In: DIY, wellness

It’s love month and I’ve got roses on my mind! What about you? If so try this delicious herbal recipe that calls for only two simple ingredients, roses and honey!

Did you know that roses are actually powerful plant medicine? Their actions are analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, astringent as well as being highly effective nervines. Roses have a cooling energy and have historically been used to help ease headaches and other inflammatory conditions.

For the skin they can tighten and heal tissue. Infuse petals into honey and you have a super effective first aid treatment for skin abrasions or drop a spoonful in some tea for a calming effect on your nervous system.

Rose Honey
•1 cup fresh rose petals (or 1/2 cup dried rose petals)
•1 cup honey
*Combine rose petals and honey together and place into a double boiler for 15 minutes over low heat for the quick method or for the slow method combine petals and honey into jar and allow to infuse for 2-4 weeks. No need to strain, you can eat the petals right along with the honey!

Interestingly enough Roses were grown in Medieval gardens not for their beauty but for their medicinal properties. Today they seem to be grown for the opposite reason because so many are unaware of the health benefits they hold. Another simple way to use rose petals is to throw them in a cup of tea. They don’t have to even be dried. Just go out to your garden and grab some petals. My favorite tea combination using them is with earl grey. This lovely duo is available in the apothecary shop too!

I celebrated St Patrick’s Day with an iced Match I celebrated St Patrick’s Day with an iced Matcha latte…just kidding I make one everyday! But it did feel a little bit more festive today. ☘️ Matcha is full of antioxidants, anti-inflammatory properties and an amino acid called L-theanine that helps to reduce anxiety. It also gives me an energy boost without the jitters! 

Iced Matcha Latte 
• 1 tsp Matcha green tea
• 1 cup milk of choice
• 1 cup ice
• 1-2 tsp honey
• sprinkle of cinnamon (personal preference) 

Add Matcha to a small bowl and pour warm water over it. Whisk to remove clumps. Pour into a glass with milk and ice. Add honey and cinnamon. Enjoy and Happy St Paddy’s Day! 🌈
Lately I’ve been meditating on what art is and w Lately I’ve been meditating on what art is and what being an artist means. I’ve concluded that art is everywhere, from keeping a home, baking bread to working with plants. Artists aren’t just those who paint or write but those that make the world more beautiful in whatever capacity they can. Would you agree? #mondaymotivation

Just peel off the outer cover and you’ll find a little seed pod inside. The seeds can be bitter so either boil or roast them. I’ve heard that they’re good mixed into mashed potatoes!
