Honey is one of the ingredients I never allow myself to run out of. Not only is it delicious in many recipes, I love it on bagels (it hooks up with cream cheese the way peanut butter hooks up with jelly), I love it in hot tea, and it’s invaluable during cold and hayfever seasons. When used liberally in hot tea, with lemon, it soothes a sore throat, quiets an annoying cough, and makes a mouth that’s been itching and sneezing feel sooooo much better.
