Hope everyone had a great 4th of July! I stayed up late last night to watch the fireworks and am super tired this morning. But Day Camp must go on I’m off to work but had to grab a little caffeine first.

I’m not a big fan of coffee so I usually go for black teas when I need an energy boost.

I also remembered this morning the “creamed honey” the Day Camp director, Bridget, gave me last week. She lives in Charlotte and picked some up last week at a farmers market there.

I had never heard of creamed honey before and this is the first time I’ve ever seen it. It’s not honey and butter mixed together as my grandmother thought when I first told her. I have done a bit of research online but am still not super clear what it is. I know it is honey that is crystallized and fermented in order to make it spreadable instead of drippable (is that a word?! hehe). But truthfully, I write that and really have no idea what that means. Can anyone out there explain it to me?!

What I do know is that the taste and texture were outstanding! Bridget actually bought cinnamon creamed honey which made it even better. Such a rich sweet taste.

See how it just sticks to the spoon? Amazing!

It was a perfect cup of tea (and caffeine boost!) and without even knowing it I created a faux chai tea…of course with a bit of milk on top

If you see creamed honey at your farmer’s market or local store, I definitely recommend trying it. And if you have any recipes or more information about it, send it my way!
