Herb Day-Good Friends-Honey and Herbal Tea~can it get any better~

Using Honey in Place of Sugar is a Healthier Alternative.
While calorie counts are pretty much the same, honey is a natural substance and your body uses it in a different way.
Sugar is a chemical and adds nothing but empty calories to your system and has long term side effects in many ways.
Cooking with honey is fun and beneficial...give it a try.
~
3/4 cup of honey for one cup of sugar, up to one cup
Reduce all other liquids in the recipe by 1/4 cup per cup of honey
Lower baking temperature by 25 degrees to prevent over browning
