Honey Infused Marjoram

If there’s one herbal pantry item I always keep stocked, it’s this honey infused with marjoram. It’s sweet, earthy, and subtly floral. This jar is my go-to when I’m feeling anxious or winding down before bed. It’s also a beautiful addition to herbal teas and even works as a drizzle over roasted carrots or toast.

Making marjoram infused honey

The trick is to gently layer the marjoram and pour honey slowly, letting the air bubbles escape. Keep the herbs submerged and clean, and you’ve got yourself a shelf-stable herbal remedy that’s as delicious as it is helpful.
