| Honey is a healthy alternative to sugar, so why not try honey in your next cup of tea or coffee? Substitute sugar with approximately half the amount of honey. For example 2 teaspoons of sugar = 1 teaspoon of honey. Honey Tip: When measuring honey, dip the spoon in hot water first, and the honey then slides off easily. |
| WARNING: Honey should not be fed to infants under one year of age. |
