Honey ideas?

[TashaBird]

I’ve suddenly got a great source for cheap local organic honey! Do you have any heavy use ideas? I already make a soap, but it’s such a small amount.

Wow, what a find! We use honey on cereal, and it is one of our favorite toppings on warm, homemade bread. We can go through A LOT of honey at our house!

I don’t eat much sugar, even though I love honey!
Got any skin care uses?

I dont eat any sugar or honey either, but my children sure do!

I recently made a dozen, 1-oz tins of lip balm that took 2 TBSP of honey. Again, a small amount, and I've been seeing that there is danger of it spoiling due to some water content in honey, but it works and tastes great.

Bumblebee Apothecary has a section on her website on the benefits of honey in skincare products. Maybe you can get some ideas there.

Honey is delicious in hot tea. Here is a link from Brambleberry.com https://www.brambleberry.com/how-to...nEMn2p4NB8M78LXmgKR1m8t8jPPIfoIPbPQ69K4oU-z8X

Elderberry syrup and homemade marshmallows use a higher percentage of honey.

Not skincare but a cold/virus fighting syrup:

Barbara O’Neill Onion Syrup

½ inch onion
1 tsp honey (can be solid)

Layer finely chopped onion (garlic, ginger, etc.) and honey in a jar. Repeat layers until you’ve made as much as you want. Cover and let sit for 24 hours; strain. Keep in fridge. Will keep a long time.

My Grandmom's mix: in a large jar put in 2 to 3 fingers of lemon juice, add in honey to 2 fingers from the top. Mix well with a slotted plastic or wooden spoon. Add in some diced Ginger root, mix well and add the strained mix to your warm tea. Make it so sweet you almost can't drink it. I use Susie sliced ginger.
