Try this cruelty-free vegan honey recipe. It mimics the taste, smell, and texture of honey without it coming from bees. The best part about this recipe is that you can store it indefinitely in your fridge as it won't crystalize.
Ingredients
- 1 cup natural apple juice
- 3 cups water
- 2 bags dandelion tea
- 2 bags chamomile and rose tea
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 4 cups sugar
Instructions
- Pour the apple juice and water into a crock pot and add in the tea bags.
- Turn the crock pot up to high, cover, and let the tea bags steep for an hour.
- Remove the bags, stir in the sugar until it is fully dissolved, and leave the crock pot on high and partially covered overnight or for at least 8 hours. It's recommended you generally place a wooden spoon across the top of the ceramic part of crock pot and prop the lid on that so that steam can escape but any splatters are contained.
- It will seem thin and runny at first but it will thicken as it cools. You can check it by taking a small spoonful and pouring it on a plate and putting it in the fridge. If it is thick and honey-like then it's done.
- This makes roughly 2 pints. Refrigerate or freeze.
