Honey

Energy: ~304 kcal / 100 g (planning figure — the product label is the final reference)

Shelf life: Effectively indefinite sealed and stored dry; crystallization is natural, not spoilage.

Storage: Ambient, sealed, dry. Re-liquefy crystallized honey in a warm water bath — high heat flattens the aroma.

• Honey lattes and flat whites
• Honey-lemon-ginger warm drinks
• Sweetening herbal infusions — add once drinkable-warm, not boiling

Never serve honey to infants under 1 year — infant botulism risk, no exceptions. For everyone else it is still free sugar and counts toward WHO added-sugar limits (under 10% of daily energy, ideally under 5%).
