Honey is a great substitute for refined white sugar in many recipes. Plus, honey is easier for your body to digest, thus being more gentle on your organs and skin.
Pass the Honey Please:
1. Use honey in your morning cup of tea. Simple and delicious!
2. Mix one to two tablespoons honey and one tablespoon apple cider vinegar in hot water. This drink soothes the throat and the apple cider vinegar can help naturally balance your pH levels.
3. Substitute honey, cup for cup, in many baked goods recipes. Follow the additional instructions below to make sure those brownies still turn out delicious!
- For each cup of honey used, reduce the amount of liquid in the recipe by 1/4 cup.
- Add 1/2 teaspoon baking soda for each cup of honey used. This will neutralize honey's acidity and
help the food rise.
- If the recipe contains sour cream or sour milk, however, you may forego adding baking soda.
- Reduce the oven temperature by 25 degrees Fahrenheit to prevent over-browning.
- When using honey in jams, jellies, or candies, increase the cooking temperature just a bit to allow the
extra liquid to evaporate.
