Product Taste Test:  “Honey Drop”

You love the taste of honey but can’t stand the thought of sticky fingers.  You want a healthier alternative to the over-refined, over-processed sugar cube during your morning coffee break but just can’t be bothered with honey dribbling all over your keyboard!  Imagine holding honey in the palm of your hand without feeling sticky.  It’s true!  With Honey Drops made by Honibe you can now enjoy the taste of real honey without all the mess.  Just pop open the package, drop it into your favorite hot beverage, stir quickly to dissolve and voila.  Enjoy the taste of real honey without the messiness involved.
That’s because Honey Drops are individually packaged in dried honey form; free from any artificial coloring, flavoring, additives or preservatives.  It’s just 100% pure, natural honey – without the messiness.  Honey drops come in two flavors: regular honey and honey lemon.  There are 20 drops in each paper container - all you do is tear away the bottom portion and the individual honey drop pops out.  It’s that quick and easy to use. Honey Drops are portable and can be easily stored at home; in your desk drawer at the office or even added to your camping gear this summer.
Taste method:  For our taste test we used the regular honey drop in our morning tea and coffee and were wonderfully pleased with the results.  It tastes just like real honey – it’s that refreshing.  Earl Grey tea lovers will enjoy the Lemon Honey drop in their morning cuppa..
We next stirred in some Honey Drops into our favorite spicy-garlic Asian marinade and used it to glaze chicken wings while barbecuing.  Honey Drops enhanced the flavor of the sauce without overpowering it, while giving the meat that wonderful finger-licking taste.
During the recent heat wave we found the Lemon Honey Drops extremely useful in sustaining energy during strenuous exercise workouts; jogging or walking.  Honey Drops have now become an indispensable addition to our gym kit-bag.  Got a scratchy, sore throat?  We discovered that Honey Drops also provide calming, soothing relief.
Our thoughts:  At just the equivalent of 1 teaspoon of honey per individual package plus its convenient easy-to-use method Honey Drops have now become a staple on our grocery list.
