At Sipping Streams Tea Company, we believe that the perfect cup of tea deserves the perfect sweetener. That's why we've created a collection of artisan creamed honeys that go far beyond simple sweetness. Each flavor is carefully crafted to complement specific teas while offering its own unique taste experience.
Our creamed honey collection transforms Alaska's finest raw honey into smooth, spreadable luxury infused with premium ingredients. Whether you're a tea purist looking to enhance your daily cup or an adventurous sipper seeking new flavor combinations, our creamed honey collection offers something extraordinary.
What is Creamed Honey?
Before we explore the flavors, let's talk about what makes creamed honey special. Creamed honey (also called whipped or spun honey) is pure honey that's been carefully controlled during crystallization to create an incredibly smooth, spreadable texture. Unlike liquid honey that can drip and run, creamed honey stays on your spoon and dissolves beautifully in hot tea.
The process doesn't add anything artificial. It's simply pure honey transformed through temperature control and gentle stirring into a luxurious consistency that melts on your tongue. All the beneficial enzymes, antioxidants, and natural goodness remain intact.

How to Use Creamed Honey in Tea
Using creamed honey is slightly different from liquid honey, but the results are worth it:
-
Brew your tea properly using the correct temperature and steeping time for your tea type.
-
Let tea cool slightly to about 140°F. This preserves the honey's beneficial properties and prevents it from becoming too thin.
-
Add a spoonful of your chosen creamed honey flavor. Start with about 1/2 to 1 teaspoon.
-
Stir thoroughly until completely dissolved. Creamed honey takes a bit more stirring than liquid honey, but it creates an incredibly smooth, creamy texture in your tea.
-
Taste and adjust by adding more if desired.
Pro Tip: The creamy texture of the honey creates a luxurious mouthfeel in your tea that liquid honey can't quite achieve. It's like adding a touch of silk to your cup.
Mixing and Matching: Creative Combinations
Don't be afraid to experiment! Here are some adventurous pairings to try:
Earl Grey Honey + Lavender Tea: Double floral intensity with bergamot and lavender creating a spa-like experience.
Matcha Honey + Black Tea: Get the antioxidants of matcha with the robust flavor of black tea. Unique and energizing.
Pumpkin Spice Honey + Chai: Spice lovers rejoice! This combination is autumn on steroids in the best way possible.
Fireweed Honey + Earl Grey Honey: Mix both in your Earl Grey tea for layered complexity.
Lavender Honey + Chamomile: The ultimate bedtime ritual for deep relaxation and better sleep.
