Spiced honey sounds really good.

Hi Maria-I saw one ages ago and always filed that away for a future wedding. I just did a google search and there were quite a few suppliers (mostly in the US).

Thankyou so much! If you like chai then you’ll really like this in tea.

I found the dried rosebuds in a chinese grocery store, cheap as chips at $2 a bag and gorgeously vivid and fragrant!

Yes very true, it would be great for Christmas

I really love the idea of your wedding favour! Where do you get heart shaped tea strainers? Are they easy to find?

The photo’s and presentation of this bride’s honey is just so lovely, well done!

I’m not into honey that much, but your description of this spiced version has me convinced I need to have some on hand!

Where does one find dried rosebuds (aside from drying them yourself)? Would rosewater be any kind of fitting substitute?

I like honey on peanut butter too. This comes just in time for homemade Christmas gifts Lorraine and not too expensive either.

Hi Kim-Welcome back! I don’t know anyone that doesn’t have a jar of honey in their cupboard, so it may as well be a lovely spiced one!

Hi grace-I didn’t know either, I thought it was more to do with a sweet time so honey symbolised that. As for why women are supposed to shave their legs well, that’s much more complicated than honey

Hi Cakelaw-Thankyou so much! It’s practical but yummy, what more could you ask

How beautiful! This is not something I have seen before, and I am sure that it would make a very memorable gift to guests.

not only did i not know the source of the term honeymoon, i never even wondered about it! that’s really odd, considering the things i actually do wonder about, like why women are supposed to shave their legs.

Better late than never, as I would have hated to miss this post. I love the idea of homemade honey as a gift, the images are just lovely. I have something special to look forward to trying when spring comes around next year. Thanks!

Hi snooky doodle-Ah yes in a certain number from what I’ve read!

Hi Angela-Thanks so much. I loved those wedding favours, we almost missed out on having some of our own as there was so much going on. It’s really lovely with the spices-I adore it!

Haha yes I forgot about that for a moment!

Hi Miss Honey-Thankyou so much, I’m crazy about weddings and anything to do with them

Hi lindsey clare-I have a thing for practical bombonierre – I love it if I can eat it or use it

Hi Reemski-Thanks, I got them from a US wedding favour website although I had such a difficult time getting them delivered I won’t mention the name in case anyone orders from them and they have the same drama!

Hi FujiMama-Thankyou so much! I was worried that I was getting a bit too textbookey for a moment there

Hi Y-I use the majority of the honey in tea (it makes regular black tea taste like chai) and also spread with peanut butter on toast.

Oh yes the spoon! I forgot to mention that-eek! It was a gift from a lovely friend for my birthday this year-it’s a honey spoon and you just rest it on the rim of the jar of honey and it drips off!

Hi Blond Duck-Hehe yes if a bride happened to like Winnie the Pooh it’s definitely an idea

Those are so pretty and cute. Of course, with my weird sense of humor, I would have turned them into hunny pots straight out of Winnie the Pooh…
