One of the following:

• 1 tablespoon grated orange, lemon, lime, or grapefruit peel
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint
• 1 tablespoon julienne ginger
• 1 tablespoon whole allspice
• 1 and 1/2 teaspoons dried crushed red pepper

 Directions:

Add flavoring to honey, heat on low heat, and let stand two hours being careful to avoid boiling or scorching.  Strain into 8-ounce jar with lid.
