Raw Strawberry Lemonade
15th Jan 2014
Kitchen Notes I substitute Honey Pacifica Creamy Wildflower Honey for white sugar in many of my recipes. It has a sugary yet fruity taste with barely a hint of traditional honey flavor, perfect for fussy children. This recipe is made slightly strong so ice can be added. Raw Strawberry Lemonade Servings: 1/2 Gallon Active time: 10 minutes …
Cacao Banana Smoothie
1st May 2013
This is raw honey recipe from our special guest Chef of the People Nathan Donahoe. Kitchen Notes I use avocado honey specifically for its sweet, molassesy taste that goes so well with the dark, bitterness of the chocolate.

Honey Iced Tea

Kitchen Notes This recipe is solar powered: from the delicate field-grown tea leaves to the bees' honey flowers and, finally, the almighty tea-brewing power of the sun.

Honey Bloody Mary

Just in case I haven't made it entirely obvious, I love Bloody Mary's. A good Bloody Mary not only contains a multitude of complex flavors, but also has …
Buckwheat Honey Beer
6th Jan 2012
Kitchen Notes I tried my hand at brewing honey beer a few months ago with the sweet and light Sage Honey, which brewed into a delightful batch of Sage Honey Bee Ale. While this was a hit, my taste testers started to ask what other varieties of honey would taste like brewed in a similar manner. So for this new batch of beer I decided to use a darker variety, …
