To Strain Honey

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Melt the honeycomb in a tin cup placed in an open oven.

  2. Once melted, strain the honey through a piece of coarse book-muslin to remove any bits of bee bread.

  3. Allow the honey to cool, then remove the cake of wax from the top.

  4. Wash the wax in cold water, melt it again, and mold it in a thimble or egg-cup.
