Honey can be stirred into hot or cold drinks like tea, coffee, or lemonade to add sweetness. It is a popular addition to breakfast foods such as oatmeal, pancakes, and waffles. In baking, it can be used as a sugar substitute, contributing moisture and a distinct flavor to cakes, cookies, and breads. It also works well in glazes and marinades for meats and vegetables, adding a subtle sweetness and helping with browning.
