Ways to use honey

Honey's not just for toast.

Iced lattes, the drinks list, a tray of roast vegetables. Good honey turns up in more places than you'd think. Pick where you're cooking and we'll show you where to start.

Did you know? Gum trees are some of Australia’s most important honey plants.

Where's honey heading today?

Start with what you're making. Each page has ideas that are easy to try and worth testing on your own menu.

  • Cafés

    Behind the coffee machine

    Iced lattes, tea, smoothies and breakfast bowls, plus a calculator for batching honey syrup.

  • Bars

    On the drinks list

    Citrus-led cocktails, alcohol-free serves and a few combinations worth a test run.

  • Kitchens

    In the kitchen

    Dressings, glazes, cheese boards and baking. Honey brings more than sweetness to the plate.

Start with one thing. Get it right.

The menu ideas that last are the ones the whole team can make the same way.

  1. Pick one dish or drink. Something your customers already know is the easiest place to start.
  2. Choose your honey. Each one tastes different, so match it to the finished dish, not the jar it comes in.
  3. Weigh it, taste it, write it down. Settle on the amount before it goes on the menu, so every shift makes it the same.
