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)

Can I infuse honey with ground flower and lavender at the same time, or should I infuse with lavender and them with ground flower?

LEVO Oil Infusion, Inc. replied:
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!

The Dry cycle is for removing excess moisture from your herbs! You can read more about it here: https://help.levooil.com/article/5eqbslgu6x-dry-mode.
Do you recommend adding lecithin for certain herbs? Curious due to the lack of fat in honey.

LEVO Oil Infusion, Inc. replied:
Lecithin is a good option for an emulsifier. You can also infuse a fat-soluble liquid such as coconut oil and then add it to your honey!
How much lavender should I use to infuse 2 cups of honey? Lavender can easily become overpowering so I’m nervous to put too much in

If you’re worried about it being overpowering, we recommend starting out low. One tsp of lavender could be a good starting point, but it is a personal preference. Let us know how it turns out!
I had to wait months to receive my machine. It was DEFINITELY worth the wait!!! It has been the best investment yet!!
