Our electuaries are gentle enough for daily use. Here are a few favorite ways our family enjoys them.
By the spoonful
The simplest way. One teaspoon morning and night is a beautiful daily ritual.
In warm drinks
Stir into hot water, tea, or warm milk. Avoid boiling water, which can kill the living enzymes in the honey. Warm is better than hot.
On food
Spread on toast, biscuits, or sandwiches. Drizzle over oatmeal, yogurt, pancakes, or ice cream. Bake into a glaze for roasted vegetables or salmon.
Storage and care
Use a clean, dry spoon. Store at room temperature, out of direct sunlight. Raw honey may crystallize over time. This is natural and a sign of unprocessed honey. To soften, place the jar in a bowl of warm water or in a sunny windowsill.
A note on safety
Honey is not recommended for children under one year of age. If you are pregnant, nursing, or taking medication, please consult your healthcare provider before adding herbal products to your routine.
