Uzbek beekeepers collect honey on mountain apiaries, where bees fly for herbs of alpine meadows. It gives a complex taste with dozens of vegetable notes - honey plants don't repeat themselves, and each batch is slightly different. Honey does not heat above 40 ° C and is not blended – so over time it naturally crystallizes, which is normal and speaks of naturalness.
To Uzbek tea, honey is served on a saucer - in a separate spoon, without stirring in a cup. In baking is used for impregnation of chak-chak and in filling samsa with a sweet filler; with walnut and dried apricot - a simple afternoon without sugar. Dosage: half a teaspoon to a cup of tea, a tablespoon to porridge.
Crystallization of honey is a natural process: liquid honey becomes dense and creamy in 2-4 months. To return the liquid state, the jar is slightly heated in a water bath to 40 ° C; above - the honey loses enzymes and aroma. Store honey in a dry, dark place for up to 24 months.
