honey?

I tried green tea a while back and discovered I enjoyed it. Drink it often now and I have stopped drinking coffee and wish to cut down on sugar. So I tried honey and discovered I really enjoy it. Been drinking green tea and blend of both for a few weeks now and last week I tried orange blossom honey from herbal shop in Blackburn and it seems to be the best yet. Anyone have any suggestions?

Also is there anywhere you know of where I might find honey in Accrington rather than having to go to stores..

I tried camomile. Not for me. After trying the jar from the herb store i would rather look for some honey thats not mass produced for supermarkets. I got one from homebargains which i didnt like. Blue Stilton. ew.

I tried some in my porridge
Know what you mean about mass produced stuff but it's conveniently packaged to keep in my desk and put a quick squirt in my brew. If I kept a jar in the fridge it would dissapear pdq.
Try and get some Manuka that's the best.

Re: honey?

Honey is great stuff with many uses from wound care to face wash,I always keep a jar in the pantry.
It has antibacterial qualities (especially if it's the dark stuff),it might sound strange to smear honey on a wound but historically that's what folk did.

Re: honey?

If you want a naturally sweet tea drink, try liquorice tea bags - no added sweetener necessary. Liquorice is good for repairing damaged 'guts'.

Re: honey?

I have known hospitals use honey on leg ulcers which would not heal. It is also one of the only food items that never goes off. I find if it has gone hard a second on the microwave restores it.

Liquorice used to be used for healing gastric ulcers.....honey is good for all kinds of things.....eases coughs soothes sore throats and if you buy stuff that is produced locally it is said to alleviate the symptoms of hay fever.
Personally, I don't like the taste and can only drink it laced with lemon juice when I have a cold and can taste nothing.

It was also used for burns.....honeytulle dressings were used to cover serious burns and this reduced the risk,of infection and promoted healing.

Not complete without a large tot of whiskey, Margaret!
It doesn't cure the cold but you won't care.
I read somewhere pouring sugar into a cut or wound would stop infection.
Whiskey has the same effect but you don't need a good malt-any will do! And only if you have no sugar or honey!
