Honey is a great alternative to sugar

Unlike nutrient-void processed sugar and chemical-spiked artificial sweeteners, honey does your body good while it takes the edge off your tea.  Studies show that using honey as a sugar replacement can help to control and cholesterol and weight.  This is because honey contains natural sugar, not man-made sugar.

Many people use honey as a sweetener because it tastes good and because it is a healthier option than white refined table sugar.  Ultimately though, your body breaks down honey just like sugar into glucose and fructose so just like any sweetener it should be used in moderation as a part of a balanced diet.  Honey has a glycemic index of between 32 and 85. The wide range is due to the variety of floral source for honey.

If you want to use honey as natural sweetener we recommend Belixir Wildflower or Belixir Pohutukawa honey.
