Is Coffee With Honey Healthy?
Coffee is an all-day beverage that can be enjoyed with numerous sweeteners, from table sugar and creamer to syrup and honey as healthy alternatives to sugar. This article will explore these various sweeteners as well as offer tips for enjoying coffee with honey.
Add honey to your morning cup of joe for not only delicious taste but also health benefits. Along with being naturally sweet, honey has antimicrobial and antioxidant properties and is full of minerals and vitamins – used for centuries as a treatment for throat infections and other ailments, weight loss, digestion improvements and energy boosts are just some of the many uses it serves today!
Honey has a lower glycemic index than sugar, meaning that when added to hot coffee it doesn’t cause the sudden surge of blood glucose that leads to fat accumulation in your body. Furthermore, it boasts higher nutritional density – with just one tablespoon providing your body with calcium, vitamins B & C, magnesium potassium and iron!
Honey used in your coffee can take on different forms, depending on what pollen bees collect. Clover honey, for instance, has mild flavors perfect for delicately accentuating everyday brews while Acacia honey’s sweet notes and bold, fruity profiles make for exciting coffee beverages. Buckwheat honey provides an earthy sweetness perfect for adding characterful depth.
Considerations when choosing which honey to use include the fact that not all honeys are created equal. To avoid the hazards associated with processed honey, raw, unprocessed, locally-sourced and not heated honey is your best bet for best results. Brothers’ Honey offers an impressive range of high-quality organic raw honey, from lime (summer blossom), buckwheat maple and honeydew through to exotic flavors like light acacia with mild clover honey or bold French press with spicy tupelo honey!
