How To Infuse Honey
The rumors are true—LĒVO can infuse your favorite sweet treat, honey! Learn how to infuse honey with the recipe below. While LĒVO makes it super simple, there are a few important things to note about the process. To preserve the nutrients in the honey and avoid burning, the heating process needs to be carefully controlled. It is best to heat at a lower infusing temperature no higher than 105°F. This will allow you to liquefy the honey and still maintain the flavor, aroma, and color.
Why we love infused honey:
- Herbal honey can be used for natural healing. For example, a lemon sage-infused honey can help sooth a sore throat, while a lavender-infused honey can help boost your immune system
- You can play with different flavors. Spicy and sweet is a flavor combo we can't get enough of, we especially like hot honey on savory dishes like chicken and waffles or drizzled on pizza
Here are some items to help you get started:
- LEVO II Infusion Machine
- Power Pod (for increasing the potency and/or flavor of your infusion)
- Herb Press (for squeezing out every last drop of butter)

I have tried to infuse my dried peppers into honey at 115° for 5 hours and still doesn’t take on any heat. My olive oil came out fantastic. Any suggestions.

Hi Glenn. Some things to keep in mind for best transfer during infusion are keeping the temp low & slow, your herbs dried (both it seems you’ve got covered!), as well as ensuring your peppers are finely chopped. There can be many factors, including type of pepper & even honey. We recommend visiting our LEVO Love Club <https://www.facebook.com/groups/levoloveclub> facebook group for specific suggestions from other LĒVO users doing similar!
I had to wait months to receive my machine. It was DEFINITELY worth the wait!!! It has been the best investment yet!!
Can I infuse honey with ground flower and lavender at the same time, or should I infuse with lavender and them with ground flower?

If you are decarbing your flower first, do that without the lavender. Then, you can add the lavender in for the infuse cycle if you choose!

I have English lavender and have enough for 2cups of honey. So if I fill both pods of lavender do I still infuse for 75 minutes at 130 degrees Fahrenheit?

Hi Allen! Per this honey recipe & our Herb Calculator, we would recommend 105-115F for 60-120 minutes and work from there! If you don’t feel your infusion is strong enough, you can adjust according to preference as long as you keep in mind your honey never reaches a boiling point.
