We are Celebrating Honey and the Harvest

Happy September!

It's National Honey Month... 

Beekeepers around the country are harvesting their liquid gold and celebrating the bounty with Honey Tastings!

If you did not know there are hundreds of different types of honey that can be tasted and evaluated similar to wine, each with its unique flavor profile determined by the nectar from the flowers visited by the honeybees then you need to come to a Honey Tasting. The unsung fact is that the essence of a honey is dictated by the terroir from the French word for earth, describing the unique combination of geographic location, climate and soil that give each honey its complex composition and tasting notes. As in wine making, terroir dramatically affects the flavor profiles of the honeys produced. You're invited to one of Marina's Honey Tasting events check the calendar below.


BEEKEEPERS HONEY LEMONADE RECIPE
Good old fashioned lemonade is way to hold on to the last few weeks of summer.
We suggest goldenrod honey which is blooming now but you may use your own honey.
 

Makes 2 quarts

• 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 3/4 cup goldenrod honey
• 2 cups hot water
• Cold tap water to fill a pitcher

1 • Combining the hot water and honey in a 2-quart pitcher. 

2 • Stir until the honey is dissolved. 

3 • Add the lemon juice and enough cold water to fill the pitcher. 

4 • Stir and stir and serve over ice.
