LorAnn Honey SS Flavor, 1 ounce bottle

I made Keto Friendly Honey hazelnut jalapeno chicken and noodles WOW! 2 TSP this honey flavoring in 1/3 cup hot water blended with 1/2 TSP pure stevia extract powder (no fillers) 4 TBSP Monkfruit Sugar 4 TBSP Allulose powder Yes this resulted in honey level sweetness and flavor (For a fun twist I added 1 TSP buttered popcorn flavor You will have to simmer the water out after pouring it over the finished chicken, noodles, and jalapeno in the pan; after it thickens add the queso of choice. The wife and I love Pete's Pasta noodles, but really the rest of the recipe is chicken, queso, and jalapeno as well as your choice of sugar free hazelnut syrup or what I used, hazelnut espresso vodka.

I had low expectations based on some of the reviews here, but it tastes like honey to me, and I’m pretty picky. I suspect people may be misusing it. These super-strength flavorings require a light hand. More isn’t always better with them, because as with any flavoring, it can taste one way at a low concentration, and totally different at a higher concentration. I made a sugar- free honey substitute using the following recipe, and it tastes darn close to real honey to me, if a bit thinner in texture: 80g allulose 40g water 4 drops concentrated liquid sucralose 3 drops honey syrup. I used a pinch of xanthan gum (1/16th tsp) to add body, but it came out a bit cloudy. Might try gum arabic instead, and/or up the simple syrup concentration to 3:1. This reminds me a lot of the honey thinned with a bit of water bartenders make for mixing cocktails (3:1 honey to water). I think if you get the right ratio of syrup to flavoring and use a light touch with an eyedropper, you’ll be pleased with the results.

I’ve used this in a couple of low-carb recipes where I could not use honey, plus one where I wanted to bring out the honey flavor a bit more. As mentioned in the title, I think this does a great job of capturing the sweetness and scent of honey, but wild honey from my area has quite a bit of bite, a slightly sour edge to it, and you feel it at the back of your throat. I didn’t get that at all. I felt that it was best at emphasizing the honey flavor where a little honey was used, but it faded more to a sweet overtone that didn’t really cut through, when no honey was used. Really good for some uses, but not quite as good for others. I may experiment with adding something to add a bit of bite, but I don’t want to wind up with lemon-honey flavor…

The keto honey substitute I purchased tasted like maple syrup to me. I decided to try this honey extract and lo and behold, to my taste buds, it makes the keto honey taste and smell just like honey. I'm on my second bottle and I love it.

Tastes like Beeswax, less than Honey. Wish it were not true, because I love the taste of honey in my tea, but this tastes a lot like wax. I use a dropper and add only a few drops per liter to my green tea, and it is not what I wanted. That said, there may be applications when a beeswax aroma is not unpleasant. It came in a nice container and seemed of good quality. Wrong flavor for me.

I added about four drops to 12 oz. of a liquified allulose/monk fruit mixture, and it's very close to honey! Enough so, that I feel that I can now cook with it, and not notice much, if any, difference. This makes a diabetic very happy. Next on the list is to try the maple extract.

I use this to make honey flavored cotton candy. The smell and taste are spot on, and are very realistic. Pairs really nicely with a bit of almond to round out the flavor a little.

It tastes really synthetic and is kinda pricey for the amount (in my opinion) I like to make honey syrup for drinks and thought this would add a similar-to-storebought taste but was wrong. It tastes like cough syrup. Wasn’t my fav, might work better for candy or something.
