The best effect is to drink honey with water of 60 degrees and below. Because the enzymes in honey will denature after being washed with boiling water, producing a large amount of hydroxyformaldehyde, which will seriously damage the protein, vitamins, malic acid and other nutrients in honey. Therefore, it is best to use hot water below 60 degrees.

What degree of water is the best for honey?

Honey is a natural sweet substance that is fully brewed in the hive from the nectar collected by bees from the flowers of flowering plants. The smell is fragrant and rich, and the taste is pure and sweet. Honey is rich in energy, protein, fat, carbohydrates, sodium and other nutrients, and eating it is good for the human body. Generally speaking, honey has a shelf life of 18 months. It should be stored in a low temperature and dark place. It is best to store it in a refrigerator at low temperature and away from direct sunlight. Although honey has a longer shelf life, fresh honey has better color, aroma and taste.

It should be noted that natural honey containing active enzymes cannot be heated above 60 degrees Celsius, otherwise the active enzymes will be denatured and inactivated at high temperatures, destroying the nutrients in it. Honey tastes sweeter when brewed with warm or cold water. If brewed at a higher temperature, the taste of honey will become sour. In addition, if the sealing is not good enough, honey can easily ferment and spoil.
