Even beekeepers have to admit it — using liquid honey to sweeten a hot beverage can be a bit messy!

Island Abbey Foods Ltd., a 6th-generation company out of Prince Edward Island, Canada, has just launched a product that offers an all-natural solution to sticky fingers at tea time.

The Honey Drop™ is an individual serving (one teaspoon / 5 g) of 100% pure dried honey, ideal for sweetening tea or coffee. You just drop it into the cup, and stir to dissolve.

Inventor and entrepreneur John Rowe first conceived the concept of no-mess honey “after several liquid honey accidents.” He thought that dried honey could be a solution, but several years of searching led him to realize that the all-natural dried honey product he was looking for simply didn’t exist.

“I have seen many dried and candied honey products, however, they all contained sugar, corn syrup, or other additives,” stated John Rowe. “In my search for a natural, non messy honey this was simply unacceptable. I did not want corn syrup in my tea. I decided to take measures into my own hands, and several years later the Honey Drop™ is the result.”

The Honey Drop™ comes in two flavors: pure honey, and pure honey and lemon. The product has a shelf life of one year and does not contain any artificial coloring, flavoring, or preservatives. Visit Island Abbey Foods Ltd. at www.NoStickyFingers.com for more information.
