I'm a fan of honey. I love drinking honey water. Honey helps me to keep my body moist and to be less "heaty". Besides, I have also heard from a radio ad saying honey contains vitamins that we need for a day.
I was drinking Honey Mart's Honey with Propolis (bought from Eu Yan Sang) and I found it quite good. There were some times that I had bad sore throat and I consumed the honey directly without diluting it, it helped. I bought two bottles for RM90, which make RM45 per bottle for the Propolis Honey.
Right - Euphoria Longana Honey, Left - Honey with Propolis, both 500g
Close-up.
Then, it was economy downturn and my honey was finishing. So, I turned to a cheaper version of the honey - Euphoria
Longana Honey. This
Longan Honey was selling two for RM45 in Eu
Yan Sang, which is half a price of the
Propolis Honey, means one for RM22.50. It is called
Longana Honey because it tastes like
Longan, not because it has any
Longan in it.
However, I think I made the wrong choice. I should have
sticked to the
Propolis Honey. During preparation of honey water, I usually use 1 tablespoon of
Propolis Honey to mix with a mug of warm water. But, for the
Longan Honey, I need 3 tablespoons to get the taste. The taste for
Propolis Honey is strong enough though for only one tablespoon is used. For one tablespoon of
Longan Honey, it is tasteless, like drinking plain water. So, I am not saving money here.
Euphoria Longana Honey - lighter in color
Honey with Propolis - Darker color and with some dark brown "residue" at the bottom.
Both honey taste very differently. When drinking
Propolis Honey, there is a cooling sensation, it is like drinking the
chinese medicated oil (风油), seriously. While for the
Longan Honey, it tastes slightly sweet.
Effect wise, I feel
Propolis Honey is more efficient in improving my sinus. Besides,
Propolis is said to have beauty effect, so going for the Honey with
Propolis will be a better choice for me. =)
