You can substitute honey for equal amounts of sugar in many recipes. In baked goods, substitute honey for up to half the amount of sugar and make the following adjustments. Reduce the amount of liquid in the recipe by 1/4 cup for each cup of honey used Add 1/2 tsp. baking soda for each cup of honey used. Reduce oven temperature by 25F (because honey will brown baking goods more than sugar). In liquid recipes such as salad dressings, drinks, shakes etc.

If by "sugar" we mean white table sugar, the answer is definitely NO. Table sugar is sucrose, a substance made up of two molecules attached together. When we eat table sugar, our stomach has to use its own enzymes to separate the molecules apart before we can use the sugar's energy. Honey is quite different. The bees have added a special enzyme to the nectar that separates the sucrose into glucose and fructose, two simple sugars that our bodies can absorb directly. See similar questions...

Honey harvested from different floral sources in different parts of the world will have different tastes and colours. Some are naturally sweeter in taste than others due to their floral sources. Many beekeepers from countries that have winter weather feed sugar syrup to the bees during winter, when the bees are unable to forage for nectar due to the cold weather and lack of flowers. This also increases the honey’s sweetness and sucrose content. See similar questions...

I wouldn't substitute honey because it reacts to heat differently than golden syrup and has a much more pronounced flavor. Of course, you can try and see if it turns out, it might work fine, depending on the recipe. Light corn syrup is a much closer substitute, but it has a different flavor. See similar questions...

That's a good question because one can't make good decisions on bad information. I've found that many people have misinformation about honey and sugar. Honey is a complex carbohydrate, the good carb. Sugar is a simple carbohydrate, the bad carb. Honey is fructose. Sugar is sucrose. Honey is in its natural state and contains vitamins, minerals, amino acids (proteins), and antioxidants. Sugar has been processed and refined, which strips the sugar cane of all nutrients. See similar questions...

Start by substituting one half of the sugar with honey. So, add 1/2 cup of sugar and 1/2 cup of honey if the recipe calls for 1 cup of sugar. Then, the next time you try the recipe, add 3/4 cup of honey and no sugar. The fructose in honey has a higher sweetening power than sugar. The replacement formula will need to be adjusted to get the best results. Also, add 1/2 tsp baking soda for each cup of honey added. See similar questions...

No. The herb Stevia cannot be used to ferment Kombucha Tea because it is non-fermentable.. The yeasts feed on sugar, and without it fermentation cannot take place. This Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) is based, in part, on the personal experiences of the members of the Kombucha mailing list. It should not be regarded as a complete or definitive manual on Kombucha but rather as a collection of practical everyday answers to questions that come up when starting to make Kombucha Tea.

Honey darkens when heated and browns at a lower temperature than sugar. Try reducing the temperature by 25°. See similar questions...

Brewer's yeast has been selected for its ability to grow well in malt-based wort and produce pleasant by-products. In particular, yeast prefer to ferment maltose because it is the largest fermentable constituent in wort. Growing your yeast up in a non-malt environment can affect the health and you can get a disordered fermentation and possible off flavors in your beer. See similar questions...

Honey is a mixture of sugars formed from nectar by an enzyme, invertase, present in the bodies of bees. Honey varies in composition and flavour, depending on the source of the nectar (clover, orange blossom, sage, etc). A typical analysis of honey would show (exclusive of undetermined substances): 38% fructose, 31% glucose, 1% sucrose, 9% other sugars, 17% water and 0.17% ash. On the other hand, sugar is pure sucrose. Honey straight from the farm may contain some pollen and other substances. See similar questions...

Salt & Pepper to taste or other spices/vegetables for flavor (mushrooms, celery, chicken bouillon, etc.) Mix equal parts of butter & flour, stirring into a paste. Freeze in 1 T. balls or in the cubes of an ice tray. To make quick white sauce, simmer 2- T. cubes of the frozen butter & flour mixture w/ milk, then salt& pepper to taste. See similar questions...

Almost the best way to benefit from the quality of your milk is using it in your cooking. Not only can you make milk at just pennies per quart, it's fresh and complements so many recipes. Use soymilk in puddings, cakes, cookies, cheese sauces, yogurt, cream sauces, milk shakes, smoothies and even mashed potatoes. See similar questions...

Bees are often killed in the production of honey, in the worst case the whole hive may be destroyed if the keeper doesn't wish to protect them over the winter. Not all beekeepers do this, but the general practice is one that embodies the attitude that living things are mere material and have no intrinsic value of their own other than what commercial value we can wrench from them. Artificial insemination involving death of the male is now also the norm for generation of new queen bees. See similar questions...
