Check out this awesome information about how honey fits into Chinese culture!
"The daily habit of many Chinese people is to add a bit of honey to milk, eat it on bread, and also simply stir it into warm water every morning for breakfast."
"Instead, it is used for its nutritionally rich functions, including removing toxins from the blood and dispelling pathogenic heat. In traditional Chinese medicine, it is also used for enhancing yin, or cold energy."
"As written by Pharmacist Li Shizhen from the Ming Dynasty, which lasted from 1368 to 1644 in the text Compendium of Materia Medica, honey can be used to help with many ailments including the removal of pathogenic heat, pain reliever, a way to fight dehydration, and as a power anti-oxidant."
