Sweet Meets Functional: feel free Herbal Honey Recipe

Ever wondered how to make infused honey? Enter: herbal honey infused with feel free CLASSIC Tonic. This sweet, earthy blend is more than just a pantry staple—it’s a functional food that can bring plant-based clarity and calm into your cozy mornings, or late-afternoon slumps.

Plant-based honey infusions have been a go-to in herbal cooking for generations. Now, you can give it a modern upgrade with feel free—our feel good tonic made from kava root and leaf kratom. When blended properly into your favorite raw honey, it becomes a spoonable treat that can help support mood and energy.

What You’ll Need

Creating your own plant-based honey infusion is easy and customizable. Here’s what you’ll need to get started:

  • 1 cup raw honey (local is best)
  • A handful of fresh herbs – try lavender, mint, rosemary, or a mix
  • ½ bottle of feel free CLASSIC Tonic
  • Optional botanicals – think lemon peel, sliced ginger, or a cinnamon stick

Tip: You can try herbs that pair well with the earthy, bold profile of feel free. Lavender and rosemary add calm floral notes, while ginger or citrus brighten things up.

How to Make Infused Honey With feel free

  1. Warm the Honey
    In a small saucepan, gently warm your honey with the fresh herbs and any optional additions over low heat. Do not let it boil—just enough to let the herbs steep and infuse. Simmer on low for about 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  2. Cool It Down
    Once the honey is infused, remove it from heat and allow it to cool to below 140°F. This step is crucial: adding feel free while the honey is too hot can diminish the natural properties of its plant-based ingredients, including the kava root and leaf kratom.
  3. Stir in the Tonic
    Once your honey has cooled slightly, gently stir in ½ bottle of feel free CLASSIC Tonic. Blend well so it distributes evenly through the mixture. 
  4. Store and Enjoy
    Pour the finished blend into a clean glass jar. Store it in a cool, dark place or refrigerate for longer shelf life.

How to Use It

Your feel free-infused treat is the perfect functional honey for tea and toast. Try it:

  • Drizzled over sourdough, yogurt, or biscuits
  • Stirred into warm (not hot) tea for a grounding sip
  • Blended into a smoothie or post-workout shake
  • Sipped by the spoonful for a calming energy boost before writing, meetings, or meditation

Why This Infusion Works

The secret sauce is feel free’s clean blend of kava root and leaf kratom—two plants long used to support mood, focus, and natural energy. Unlike products with caffeine or synthetic stimulants, feel free can create a feeling of calm alertness that can help you feel steady, not jittery.[1]

Incorporating it into herbal honey adds a sensory layer—letting you slow down, stir with intention, and savor every drop. Just remember: temperature matters. Keep your honey under 140°F before adding feel free to preserve the full spectrum of botanicals from these ancient plants.
