Vegan Honey Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 cup natural apple juice
- 3 cups water
- 2 bags dandelion tea
- 2 bags chamomile & rose tea
- 1 tbl lemon juice
- 4 cups sugar
Preparation
Pour the apple juice and water into a crock pot and add in the tea bags. Turn the crock pot up to high and let the tea bags steep for an hour. Take the bags out, add in the sugar, leave the crock pot on and uncovered overnight or at least 8 hours. It will seem very thin and runny but as it cools it will thicken. Makes roughly 2 pints. ?
Why the crock pot? Even on high heat you don't need to worry about scorching or boiling to hard crack stage. You dump it all in and leave it for 8-10 hours. You can do this on the stove top but you'll need to cook it over low heat and bring it to a slow bubble rather than constant bubble. If it hits 300 F it won't be a syrup anymore. Plus you need to worry about it burning if you can't dedicate time to stirring for an hour. So. Use a crock pot
