There's a lot more you can do with a jar of Dr. Bee honey than eat it straight from the spoon — though there's nothing wrong with that either. Whether you're working with our Ice Honey or one of the infusions, here's how to get the most out of what's in your kitchen, and how to keep it at its best.
Ice Honey
Velvety, glacier-white, and layered with a wild floral sweetness. It gets that texture through a slow, cold-processing method — nothing added to force it. Because it's so smooth, it works well anywhere you'd want honey to melt in evenly rather than sit on top.
How to use it:
- Straight off the spoon
- Stirred into warm tea or coffee
- Spread on toast or pastries
- Drizzled over yogurt or a cheese board
Pairing idea: Warm it slightly and serve alongside a soft cheese board with something crunchy — a water cracker or toasted baguette. The floral sweetness holds its own against a sharp cheddar or a mild brie.
Storage: Keep the lid on tight and store at room temperature, out of direct sun. No fridge needed.
Ginger Infusion
Bright, zesty warmth balanced by honey's natural floral depth — just two ingredients, nothing else added.
How to use it:
- Stirred into warm water or tea for a bright reset
- Swirled through yogurt and oatmeal
- Drizzled over fruit or pancakes
- Whisked into dressings or baking
Pairing idea: Stir into hot lemon water first thing in the morning — a warm, bright start before coffee even enters the picture.
Storage: Room temperature, lid tight, out of direct sun.
Cinnamon Infusion
Warm, earthy, and bakery-like — this one reads as baking spice, not hot spice.
How to use it:
- Stirred into coffee or a slow Sunday hot cocoa
- Spread thick on warm toast or fresh waffles
- Drizzled over yogurt and granola
- Folded into baking, or into roasted squash and carrots
Pairing idea: Fold into a batch of oatmeal or roasted squash — the earthy sweetness does a lot of quiet work in both.
Storage: Room temperature, lid tight, out of direct sun.
Ginseng Infusion
Warm, herb-forward, almost tea-like — earthier and more savoury than the others in the lineup. Made with Ontario-grown, 6-year aged ginseng.
How to use it:
- Sipped slowly as a ginseng honey tea
- Blended into a smoothie with citrus or ginger
- Drizzled over yogurt or a grain bowl
Pairing idea: This one's best appreciated slowly — a proper ginseng honey tea, the kind of ten minutes you take just for yourself, rather than folded into something else.
Storage: Room temperature, lid tight, out of direct sun.

If your kitchen shelf is covered, our Wellness line takes the same honey and pairs it with propolis, royal jelly, and bee pollen — built for a daily routine rather than a recipe. Take a look at the Wellness Guide.
