My mother recently gave me an old clipping she had on making herb flavored
honey.  This one specicifally mentioned how to make mint flavored honey.  The
instructions are pretty simple, use one tablesppon fresh mint or one teaspoon
of dried mint to 1 pint honey.  You heat the honey and the mint together
slowly over a low heat, until the honey is warm, stirring continually for
about 2 minutes.  You then let the hoey cool, put it into clean sterile jars
and let it set for at least one week. You then re-heat the honey until it is
warm and thin and strain the leaves out.  The recipe also mentions that this
could be done with other "aromatic herbs."  What would be other aromatic herbs
I could use? 

I know this is trying to retro-document, but I would also like to know if
anyone has run across a period reference to this type of flavored honey.  I'm
not trying to justify my use of it, rather I want to know if someone else asks
me so I'm not passing on incorrect information.

Thanks!
