With the launch of our new Barrel Aged Honey, we're ready to answer the age-old question: Is honey good in coffee?
For thousands of years, people have used honey in food, drinks, and even for its medicinal qualities. In fact, National Institute of Health studies have shown (and 10/10 grandmothers agree) that adding honey to your diet can provide antioxidants, is anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, anti-diabetic, can improve respiratory function, ease gastrointestinal discomfort, improve cardiovascular health, and even protect the nervous system.
So, the answer, friends, is a resounding YES! Coffee and Honey might be just what the monkey ordered! While you may not think of honey as a typical coffee accompaniment it can add unique flavor profile that smooths over acidity and even brings additional vitamins/minerals/antioxidants to your cup. Face the facts, honey, this healthy and tasty alternative to sugar or artificial sweeteners is the bees-knees!
At Monkey Cult Coffee, we love to try new flavor combinations that incorporate top quality ingredients with flavor notes we love. To make our delicious honey, we use barrels from the Loaded Cannon Distillery in Lakewood Ranch, Florida where bourbons are aged for 4 years before coming to us for honey production. Our busy bees collect pollen from local Florida wildflowers to create a beautifully smooth, amber colored honey that then gets that extra dose of boozy flavor in the barrel.
