Honey in the kitchen
Honey can be used as an ingredient both in sweet and in savoury
recipes. Sweet preparations that do not require cooking or preparations
where honey is added at the end obviously offer an ideal use of
this ingredient.
In this case it is more a question of suggestions for use of honey
than of actual recipes. In the many cases where we habitually add
sugar, honey can be substituted to the advantage of health and of
the gourmets' pleasure.
But it is important to choose the right kind of honey for the food
or the beverage it's being added to. The honey flavour should complete
that of the other ingredients or else create a pleasing contrast.
Some examples?
A thirst-quenching drink can be made from water, eucalyptus honey
and lemon juice. The evening herbal tea can be sweetened with lime tree
honey.
