Mad Honey can also be used for breakfast or as a tasty snack when mixed with yogurt and nuts. Since it’s not ideal to start the day with a large dose of Mad Honey, it is advisable to add no more than one teaspoon to the yogurt. You can then mix in a handful of mixed nuts. One teaspoon is also the maximum amount recommended on a daily base to avoid any health issues.
Mad Honey Glaze
Mad Honey can be used as a glaze when baking. It can serve as a glaze for cakes, cupcakes, muffins, and bread. A thin layer on top provides a unique flavor that only Mad Honey can offer. For the glaze, you can combine it with some lemon juice to make the flavor fresher. Traditional toppings can also be added to your baked goods as usual.
Mad honey as Salad Dressing
Honey is sometimes used as a salad dressing, and this is also possible with Mad Honey. By mixing Mad Honey with olive oil, mustard, and herbs of your choice, you can create a delicious dressing for your salad. Again, it’s advisable to use only one teaspoon of Mad Honey. This dressing pairs well with ingredients like goat cheese and walnuts.
Marinades for Meat and Fish
Mad Honey is also suitable as a marinade for meat and fish, such as chicken, pork, or salmon. The sweetness and bitterness of the honey will caramelize the meat or fish during cooking, creating a unique flavor. As with tea, the effects of Mad Honey are less likely to be felt due to the heat from cooking, but it will help create a distinct taste.

Toppings such as syrup or regular honey are often used to sweeten pancakes and waffles. Mad Honey can also be used as a topping and is delicious with fresh fruit. Alternatively, you can mix one teaspoon of Mad Honey into the batter for your pancakes or waffles. This recipe provides a unique flavor and experience.
Smoothies
You can create your own flavors in smoothies by adding different ingredients to the blender. A smoothie usually consists of yogurt or milk and various fruits. As a finishing touch, you can add one teaspoon of Mad Honey. The fun part of making smoothies is that you can be very creative and try different flavors. It’s entirely up to you to create a unique smoothie with Mad Honey.

For this recipe, it is recommended to choose a neutral or green tea to highlight the specific flavor of the honey. Adding one teaspoon of Mad Honey to the tea will achieve the unique taste. However, be aware that the effects of Mad Honey are less likely to be felt due to the hot water breaking down its properties.
