Coffee-Infused Honey Recipe

Honey Infused in coffee

Coffee and honey make a wonderfully rich combination. This simple infusion allows freshly roasted coffee beans to slowly impart their deep, roasted flavor into raw honey, creating a sweet and aromatic ingredient for your kitchen.

Coffee Infused Honey

Ingredients

• 1 cup freshly roasted coffee beans

• 1 quart raw honey

Making Coffee-Infused Honey

Begin by coarsely grinding the coffee beans. Add the ground coffee to a clean glass jar.

Pour the raw honey over the coffee, leaving approximately ½ inch of space at the top of the jar.

Allow the coffee to begin soaking into the honey. As the honey settles, you may notice air bubbles rising to the surface. Once everything has settled, add a little more honey if needed to maintain the appropriate headspace.

Secure the jar with a lid.

Place the jar in a sunny location and allow the coffee to infuse into the honey for approximately 3–4 weeks.

During the infusion, the coffee will slowly release its rich roasted flavor into the honey.

When the infusion is finished, strain out the coffee grounds.

Don’t throw those grounds away! They can be saved and used to make a French press coffee, giving you one more use from the coffee you’ve infused.

Transfer the finished coffee-infused honey to a clean jar and store it in a cool, dry place.

Enjoy it drizzled over baked goods, stirred into yogurt or oatmeal, added to your morning coffee, or simply enjoyed by the spoonful.
