Honey in Coffee?

[Cappuccino]

Anyone here add honey in their coffee? Am I weird?
I do this all the time. I ask my friends this and all of them called me weird wtf.

 

[Ns1]

No what the fuck.


That said, I have had a few espresso based drinks that did use honey.

one time, when my mom was visiting, I offered it because I don't have any kind of granulated sugar or sweeteners. she has to have it sweetened. I did have real honey, though.

she said it was fine, and it should be, really. It's just sugar.

honey is the miracle cure for everything. it has been used for centuries for its medicinal, healing powers. there was a pharm rep that once said if people knew about the power of honey, they'd be out of business.

eat good, unprocessed honey. live long and prosper.

Why the hell do people like their coffee so damn sweet?

Adding anything to coffee is weird IMO, so honey is no more weird than refined sugar.

I use honey instead of sugar in my coffee. So you're not alone. But I use real honey and not that fake sugar water they sell at stores.

honey actually is amazing, though it's medicinal properties are best-suited as a topical wound treatment than being injested daily for "maximum energy health and vitamin force blah blah," or whatever made up FUD the holistic industry will have you believe.

This. If you really want to eat something for good health, powdered tiger penis is the best thing for that.

Straight espresso is the way to go.

I drink espresso straight. But I put cream and honey in my coffee.

It's more than "just sugar". It has a flavor, and in some cases the flavor's bold. Table sugar is neutral, and doesn't really affect the flavor aside from adding sweetness.

I have at times, I prefer sugar though as Honey is more expensive and not quite as sweet.

I don't usually have honey handy, but one time when I was out of sugar I put maple syrup in my coffee...was freaking delicious

Done that a few times, it actually works better than Honey, IMO. What I have found on this whole subject that if really desperate and lacking sweeteners, cinnamon actually does a decent job as a substitute, at least to my taste buds. It doesn't really sweeten, but it takes away that tart/bitterness that sugar does.

very true. a lot of hospitals now use topical, medical grade manuka honey to treat burn victims. the recovery time is amazing. you want to see what honey can do? google for the benefits of pure, UMF-certified manuka from New Zealand. $80 -$150 for a 1 lb pot of this liquid gold is very common and it is in high demand.

we actually use manuka honey as a topical post-surgery treatment for dogs. did not know it was being used for burn victims too.

 

[Leros]

I know a guy that has been using maple syrup in his coffee.

 

[AznAnarchy99]

Condensed milk is good too,

Adding anything to coffee seems odd to me...

I was just at the supermarket and noticed a bunch of fancy stuff to put into coffee... And I'm not talking Coffee Mate. At $8 a bottle, too cheap to try though.
