Honey is like sunshine in a jar. A sweet representation of the surrounding flora. And the health benefits are numerous. It’s great as a natural and healthy sweetener, and even helps to get rid of the hiccups!
The folks at Genfan Family Farm have nine bee hives, and are currently selling freshly harvested honey, including some honey still in the comb! They have kindly sent a couple of ideas for folks looking to utilize their honey this summer!
Turmeric Tea Golden Milk:
- 2 cups coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon turmeric
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon raw honey
- Pinch of black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon powdered ginger
- Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)
Blend all ingredients in a blender until smooth.
Pour into sauce pan and heat 3-5 minutes until hot.
Drink immediately.

How to eat honeycomb:
- Place a chunk of honeycomb over oatmeal, pancakes or waffles.
- Slather a baguette with Brie and top with chunks of honeycomb.
- Make a salad of arugula, grilled chicken and slivered almonds. Top with crumbled soft goat cheese and small chunks of honeycomb.
- Top a bowl of chili with a chunk of honeycomb and a blob of sour cream. The honeycomb will melt into the chili, working with the sour cream to tame the heat ever so slightly.
- Top slabs of angel food cake with whipped cream and chunks of honeycomb.

I can attest to how delicious the honey from Genfan is- I take a spoonful everyday and haven’t been affected by allergies since returning to San Marcos from the east coast.
I haven’t tried the golden milk recipe yet though- it sounds great!
