With March in full swing, Rayna Macias, our Golden store Manager, had a wonderful idea to try to create a classic Shamrock Shake using Björn's Whipped Peppermint Honey. Her recipe is below and can be modified to use milk alternatives.
Right now, bakeries all over Sweden are starting to make “semlor” or Fat Tuesday Buns. The buns are filled with marzipan, topped with whipped cream, and then served in a bowl of hot milk. I wanted to create a honey-sweetened after-workout drink treat with these flavors, plus colostrum and collagen, to make it more nourishing. It’s simple to make and can be done without the colostrum and collagen. It can even be served hot!
Save the bees and get some free honey! Pollinator Week is upon us and to help celebrate we've got a lineup of tiered deals for you. As with our tiered deals of the past, you can get up to three jars of honey for free.
Here at Björn's we know the holidays are a special time and especially this year, we must find ways to celebrate and come together even if that cannot be in person. We are proud to offer a customized holiday card for all orders, free of charge, during the holidays. The card is pictured her and has our lovely honeybee logo on the front. The inside can contain a short message of your choosing.
Björn's Homemade Honey Masala Chai is a comforting tea inspired by India's traditional spiced tea. "Chai" means tea in Hindi, and "masala" refers to a blend of spices, so Masala Chai is an Indian-style spiced tea. This version is a great way to use up the honey at the bottom of the jar.
Manuka honey, which comes from Australia and New Zealand, is a popular product among people who eat honey to be healthy but Björn's propolis honey is a better understood, local alternative. Propolis is known for its remarkable ability to fight microbes and when blended with our local wildflower and clover honey, it becomes a tasty and healthy immune booster.
With the dark, cold days right now, it's a nice time of year to have something special for dessert. I love custard, and crème caramel is one of the simplest custards to make. It also keeps well and is plated in single servings so you can enjoy it for a couple of days. Honey enhances the flavor of the cream and eggs in this recipe.
When we eat local honey, we expose our bodies to trace amounts of local pollens. The idea is that our bodies then become accustomed to these pollens and don't release histamines. Without histamines, there are no symptoms of seasonal allergies.
