Basil Honey

The girls are still busy collecting nectar for the Flow hive in the back yard. 
The last batch of honey we decanted was dubbed Coastal Blossom, with the main flavours and scents dominated by local fruit and citrus tree blossoms, but with distinctive undertones of vegetable or herb flowers from who-knows-where.
Watching the girls working over the crop of basil blooms in the garden this morning, I had a mini taste epiphany: some of those distinctive flavour undertones in the honey definitely come from sweet basil flowers.
After the initial hit of sucrose and fructose on the palate, there's just the slightest after-taste of sharp, tangy, almost-minty basil flavour.
We'll have to await the outcome of our dilettante taste-testing process, but the name on the label for next batch of honey might well include a reference to the O. basilicum species - assuming it avoids the self-indulgent codswallop of the ninja wine-taster.
