All about honey 🍯

Since fall is starting, the weather is getting cold, and we find ourselves reaching for a warm cup of tea with a little bit of honey. Honey provides the perfect touch of natural sweetness to many of our foods. But honey is more than that, honey has been valued for centuries, not only for its natural sweetness but also for its medicinal properties, so let's talk about the types of honey, their benefits, and how to incorporate honey into our meals.

Before we get into the main topic, let's make one thing clear. HOW IS HONEY MADE? First, bees collect nectar from flowers and store it in a specific part of their stomach (honey sacs). They carry it back to their hives and mix the nectar with an enzyme called invertase, the enzyme breaks down into simpler sugars, like glucose. This bee continues to process the nectar with more enzymes, further breaking down the sugars, until it is deposited into a honeycomb cell. The nectar is still too watery at this stage to be honey. So, bees fan their wings over the honeycomb, evaporating the moisture until it is about 18%, making honey a sole food that never expires. Now that we know where the honey came from, let's dive into the kinds of honey we will be talking about.

1. Manuka honey Manuka honey is produced in New Zealand, from the Manuka bush. This honey is thicker, darker, and creamier, with a bit of a nutty aroma compared to regular honey. It's known for its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties and contains high levels of methylglyoxal, which makes it effective for wound healing, soothing sore throats, and boosting your immune system. In my opinion, Manuka honey is the best for tea and is the perfect natural candy.

2. Acacia honey Acacia honey is sourced from blossoms of the Black Locust in North America and Europe. This honey has a light color and has a floral flavour. It's known for its low sucrose level, meaning a lower glycemic index, which is suitable for people with diabetes. In addition, supports liver cleansing, possesses anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, benefiting gut health. It acts as the perfect sweetener in yogurt or drizzled-over fruit.

3. Sourwood honey Sourwood honey comes from the sourwood trees in the Appalachian Mountains, spanning from Southern Pennsylvania to Northern Georgia. The honey has a light amber color and offers a rich, buttery, and caramel-like taste. Sourwood Honey possesses antibacterial properties. Additionally, it provides relief from allergies and is a good natural energy source. You could use it for marination and baking, its caramel taste works perfectly in fall desserts like apple pie, and it also tastes wonderful drizzled over cheese.

4. Linden honey Linden honey comes from Linden trees, which can be found worldwide. It has a pale yellow color, and it tastes delicate and extremely fresh, due to the minty and citrus flavor profile. Apart from the antioxidants, it offers calming properties, and a natural remedy for stress, anxiety, and insomnia. Making it the perfect late-night tea sweetener, especially for chamomile and green tea. The tangy and floral taste also adds depth to savory dishes.

5. Posion oak honey Poison oak honey is one of the lesser-known and unique honey and is sourced from the nectar of the poison oak plant, which grows in the western USA and parts of Mexico. The honey is very dark in color, almost black. It's incredibly thick and can taste like molasses or barbecue sauce. The honey is known to effectively treat allergies but could be deadly to people who have a poison oak allergy. It is often used for barbecues to glaze meat to add sweetness, Caution is advised, most people are allergic to poison oak.

Apart from the types of honey mentioned, people have been adventuring with infused honey. Infused honey is made by adding herbs and spices to honey and letting it sit and marinate until the flavour is pungent. Some common types are ginger honey, perfect for ginger tea, and hot honey, perfect for adding some sweet and spicy flavour to a savory dish. Overall, honey is widely used in our lives, from enhancing meals to boosting our health. You could incorporate honey in so many different ways, whether it's your kitchen pantry or your wellness routine.

EVERYBODY SHUT UP!

I JUST FOUND OUT THAT THE TASTE I THOUGHT WAS CHAMOMILE IS ACTUALLY HONEYCOMB???

I bought some raw honeycomb to eat and was thrown for the biggest loop of my life when the honeycomb tasted like chamomile???

I checked to make sure I hadn't bought anything infused, and I didn't. That's just what the honeycomb taste like????

Anyway my life is a lie And I don't know what chamomile taste like.

What You're Willing To Overlook 5

@flufftober Day 5: Honey & Bees Fandom: The Closer/ Major Crimes (Brenda/Sharon) 300 words, G Read all chapters here

---

One of Sharon’s most endearingly WASPish qualities was her affinity for tea.

Brenda suspected it was about the routine: heating the water to just the right temperature, measuring out the loose tea into the strainer, setting the timer so it would steep just long enough. And then there were the tea sets. Delicate tea cups with saucers and matching pots, a tiny pitcher for cream and a bowl for sugar cubes that always went empty because Sharon preferred her tea simple and unadorned.

Sharon claimed that it was because there was a tea for every occasion. Chamomile before bed, earl grey for an afternoon pick-me–up, green tea to help her think. Brenda, on the other hand, thought they all tasted like potpourri. Smelled nice enough, but she really couldn’t stomach any of it without a healthy dose of sugar or honey (and Sharon didn’t keep either in the house).

But Sharon looked so darn cute cradling her cup and saucer, lifting them both together to blow on the hot tea, that Brenda always said yes to sharing a pot, just to watch Sharon enjoy it while her own cup sat untouched on the table.

Then one day, something new appeared on the tea tray: a ceramic beehive, decorated in tiny bees and flowers, and filled with honey. It was so incongruous to the neatly matching china, and yet somehow it looked like it belonged there, much the way that country bumpkin Brenda managed to fit into Sharon’s orderly, sophisticated life.

Sharon smiled, watching Brenda’s eyes light up as she stirred big globs of honey into her tea and then wrapped her lips around the rim of the cup to gulp at it greedily, leaving the saucer on the table. Brenda really was adorable, even if she didn’t appreciate good tea.
