Set a pan of water over high heat and bring to a boil. Turn off the burner and allow the water to cool for about 5 minutes, or until it is below 160°F. Set the honey in the water. Cover the pan. Check after an hour or so, stirring the honey as needed.

2. Slow Cooker Method

Set the covered honey into the slow cooker. Add enough water to cover the honey container halfway. Cover the slow cooker and set to Low. After 30 mins or so, check the water temperature to ensure it is not above 160°F. If it is, add a little cold water. If not, allow to continue until the honey is liquid.

3. Sous Vide

If you have a sous vide cooker, set it up placing the closed honey container in the water, which is not deep enough to completely cover the closed honey container and setting sous vide to 140°F. Allow cooking for several hours, as needed to achieve liquid honey.

FAQs

What is the best way to store honey?

The best advice is to store honey in the original container the honey came in, though any glass jar or food-safe plastic container will work. Avoid storing honey in metal because it can oxidize.

It is not necessary to refrigerate honey. In fact, it’s much easier to handle if you don’t because the cooler temperature will cause the honey to solidify. This makes it difficult to use when you need it and you will have to warm it up to get it back to a liquid state.

Normal room temperature is ideal where it will not be subject to getting moisture inside. If your house tends to get warm, find the coolest spot in the pantry for your honey. Keep it away from the stove and other heat-producing appliances as well as sunlight.

Honey is the only food source that contains everything to sustain human life. It contains antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals that we need, even water.

Honey is medicinal

Honey is good for treating diaper rashes, stomach ulcers, burns, and seasonal allergies (although the honey you are taking must be from the same area that you live to be useful in this way). Honey has long been known to help relieve sore throats when mixed with lemon juice.

Honey comes in different flavors and colors

The flowers the bees have gathered pollen will decide your honey’s flavor. Honey made from pollen gathered from clover will taste different from honey made with the pollen of wildflowers. It will also affect its color.

Honey never spoils

You never have to throw honey out—even it has become crystallized. Honey was found in King Tut’s tomb that was still good to eat.

Honey is effective against acne

Organic honey can be effective against acne—and a lot cheaper than those high-priced drugstore cleansers and creams. Spoon some honey into your hands, hold for a few seconds to get it nice and warm, and coat the problem area. Wait at least five minutes, and rinse with a soft, warm washcloth. In no time, you are likely to see the difference.

Honey is good for your skin

Plagued by dry skin, fine lines, and wrinkles? Apply honey to your dry wrinkled skin, leave on for 30 minutes and gently wash away with warm water. Honey may soon become your best friend.

Honey is soothing

Try honey if you suffer from anxiety, nervousness, or inability to get a good night’s sleep. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of honey to a mug of hot water. Stir, enjoy!
