Honey with resin: useful properties and contraindications
Honey is a very healthy product. If you mix it with resin, you get a healing potion for any ailments. And to enhance the healing properties of gum honey, it is also recommended to add propolis and bee bread to it.
Composition features
Coniferous trees do not have flowering periods, so pollinating insects do not have the opportunity to collect pollen from them. Accordingly, honey with resin is a product of manual labor. Gum is collected with a scraper in places where the bark is damaged, and then mixed in equal proportions with natural honey. Before mixing the two components, each of them is individually heated in a water bath. After stirring, the mixture simmers for another 15 minutes with regular stirring.
The result is a mass of amber color with a darkish green tint, which is associated with cedar resin. The final taste of the product depends on the honey that was taken as the basis. Flower varieties reveal coniferous aroma more tangibly, and in a mixture of resin with buckwheat or honeydew honey, a tart taste prevails. Adding resin to honey allows you to significantly increase the beneficial properties of the primary product. After cooking, the honey is transferred to a tightly closed ceramic or glass dish.
Recommended storage conditions: dark place, air temperature not higher than +25 degrees. If the recommended standards are observed, gum honey can be stored for a very long time without losing its beneficial properties.
