Instructions

1. In a small saucepan, combine the 2 tablespoons of dried lavender flowers, 1/4 cup of honey, and 2 cups of extra virgin olive oil.
2. Warm the mixture over low heat, allowing it to simmer gently for 5 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure the honey is fully dissolved in the oil.
3. Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool completely. This step allows the flavors of lavender and honey to fully infuse the olive oil.
4. Once the oil has cooled, strain it through a fine sieve or cheesecloth to remove the lavender flowers.
5. Transfer the infused oil to a clean, dry glass bottle or jar for storage. Ensure the container has a tight seal to maintain the oil's freshness.
6. Store the infused oil in a cool, dark place for up to 2 weeks.
7. Enjoy this Provencal Lavender and Honey Infused Olive Oil as a dressing for salads, a drizzle over roasted vegetables, or a flavorful spread on warm, crusty bread.
