How to revive crystallized honey
You can bring your honey back to life by pouring it into a bowl, adding warm water, and gently stirring until it reaches your desired consistency, Martha Stewart says.
However, like the honey-making process itself, it requires patience because it can up to 45 minutes, depending on the degree of crystallization.
“The key is to take your time and stir slowly to avoid accidentally getting water in the jar,” an expert told Martha Stewart. “This method will produce the smoothest and most consistent texture.”
How to store honey to prevent crystalization
Honey should be stored at room temperature, ideally in a dark cupboard away from direct sunlight, to maintain its gooey consistency and prevent crystallization.
Experts say to avoid putting it in the refrigerator because the cooler temperatures will make it crystallize faster.
However, experts say to accept that crystallization is a natural side effect and will happen over time. This is why honey should be enjoyed within a few months of purchasing.
