How to De-Crystallize Honey

Honey is probably one of the most popular natural sweeteners. Like most people, we love using honey at home. We use it to sweeten tea, cereal, toast, pancakes, and dressing. I think it makes the flavor so much better compared to ordinary syrups or sugar. There are a lot of things you can do with it aside from adding it to your food. You can use it as a hair conditioner, facial cleanser, and sore throat soother.
