My beekeeper was totally telling me you can't do this. I smiled and didn't say anything. Sometimes it's better to know better and not bother. I made some blackcurrant and sage honey and it was bloody great. Great post. xx

Oh wow! I'm sorry to hear the beekeeper is spreading that word. Chestnut School Of Herbal Medicine teaches how to make these herb-infused honey as does Mountain Rose Herbs and several other herbal and natural medicine schools and blogs. There is much documented info on it. I actually learned it through a naturopath that I was doing an internship with years ago. As for currants, I so wish I could grow them here but unfortunately, they are illegal in our state because they carry a pathogen that effects the local/native trees. I can see about buying some dried in bulk though!
