Lavender Orange Honey Sticks: Sunny Citrus Sweetness in a Straw
Save
Our Lavender Orange Honey Sticks are a little dose of sunshine for gray days. Each single-serve straw of honey carries a bright, sunny orange flavor, which feels especially welcome in the long stretch of a Michigan winter when the sun forgets to show up for a week.
Why orange
Orange is sweeter and softer than lemon, with a juicy, almost marmalade-like brightness. It pairs beautifully with black tea, spiced drinks and anything with cranberry or chocolate.
Warm-mug ideas
- Black tea: orange honey in a cup of Earl Grey or breakfast tea is a natural match.
- Tea latte: squeeze one into a milky tea like our Lavender Fog Tea Latte for an orange twist.
- Cold-night mug: hot tea, an orange slice and a stick of orange honey make a simple, cozy toddy-style drink.
- Hot chocolate: a squeeze adds a chocolate-orange twist.
- Warm cider: orange and apple are old friends.
Breakfast and snacks
Drizzle orange honey over buttered toast, Greek yogurt with granola, or a warm biscuit. It is also a sweet addition to a snack board with soft cheese and dried fruit; our Farm Stand Afternoon Tea Board shows how to put one together.
Favors and stockings
Orange looks cheerful in a jar mixed with purple and green sticks, and a bundle tied with ribbon slips easily into a stocking or a card. For holiday gifts, pair a handful with lavender tea or hot chocolate mix in the Gift Box Builder. All flavors are on the combined listing below.
Storing
Keep honey sticks dry, at room temperature and out of direct sun. If the honey thickens or crystallizes, warm the stick in your hands or a cup of warm water and it will loosen.
Frequently asked questions
Is it like orange juice?
No. It is honey with an orange flavor, sweet and bright rather than juicy-tart.
Can I give them to young children?
Not to infants. Honey should not be given to babies under 12 months old. Older kids usually love them.
How many should I buy for party favors?
Plan two or three per guest for a nice bundle, and mix flavors so everyone finds a favorite.
