Steps on how to make cinnamon honey are as follows:
I. Collect cinnamon flowers and remove debris.
The flowering period of osmanthus is not considered long, but it is definitely not short either. So throughout the osmanthus-scented season, you can go to the tree and pick fresh osmanthus flowers yourself as raw material. But remember, make sure you don't collect them after it rains, because the osmanthus flowers are extremely easy to shed at that time of year, and the debris can be especially heavy.
Two, prepare high-temperature sterilized glass bottles.
The glass bottle must be sterilized by high temperature, because in the later stage there will be a sealed storage waiting for the fermentation process, so if the glass bottle is not clean, there are residual bacteria, it is very unhealthy.
Three, filled with honey.
The best honey is cinnamon honey or rose honey, because such honey itself has a floral flavor, and then combine it with the cinnamon, its flavor is even more.
Four: Fill with cinnamon.
Put the cinnamon flowers after picking into the glass jar containing honey and stir, must remember, cinnamon flowers need to be washed and dried before use, but not sun exposure, as long as the air can be dried. The cinnamon and honey must be stirred well so that the flavor comes out.
Fifth, sealed and stored.
The last and most important step. Seal the glass bottle, sealing must be careful to completely exhaust the air inside the bottle, newspaper a vacuum state. Then put the glass bottle in a place with a calm temperature, not too cold, and not exposed to the sun. When the lid is opened after a week, you will get a large jar full of cinnamon honey.
