Coffee with honey: a new taste and a health-boosting habit

For many people, coffee is an integral part of the morning, whilst honey is one of the most popular natural sweeteners. However, the combination of these two products still raises quite a few questions. Is honey suitable for coffee? When is the best time to add it? And is it really a better choice than ordinary sugar?

Although coffee with honey is not a new discovery, in recent years this combination has once again been gaining attention amongst people looking for more natural alternatives. When prepared correctly, coffee with honey not only offers a different flavour but also allows you to avoid refined sugar.

In this article, we will discuss the benefits of coffee with honey, how to prepare it properly, who this combination might not be suitable for, and why it is important to stir the honey into coffee that has cooled slightly rather than into boiling coffee.

We often hear the question – can I drink coffee with honey? At first it sounded strange (the power of habit), but curiosity led me to look into it? We soon found out that not only is it possible, but even necessary! Interestingly, the combination of coffee and honey is recognised as beneficial and even curative. It is not without reason that they say – everything new is old forgotten. As far back as the 16th century in England, it was recommended for both children and adults as a remedy for the common cold.

These days, so many people can’t imagine starting their day without a cup of aromatic, strong coffee. This tradition is a sacred ritual, but it’s essential to make it as healthy as possible, so swap the sugar for natural honey! This will make the flavour of your favourite coffee even more pronounced and interesting, and instead of extra calories, it will bring nothing but benefits to your body. Just bear in mind two things: make sure you buy natural, good-quality honey, and, if you want to benefit from its health-promoting properties, don’t add it to hot coffee – wait until it has cooled down.  And if you’re looking for other convenient everyday bee products, it’s worth taking a look at natural gummy sweets, which can be a great alternative in various situations.

Honey contains 16 times more vitamin B2 than apples. The carbohydrates in honey become the main source of energy when they enter the tissues of the human body (body shapers, shut up) and not fat.

Why is honey-sweetened coffee not recommended? Pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers should be particularly cautious about drinking coffee with honey. People suffering from high blood pressure and allergic reactions to bee products should avoid coffee with natural honey altogether.
