Gentle warming

Gentle warming is an effective method to reliquify crystallized honey. Warming crystallized honey in a water bath or warming cabinet at temperatures between 100-120°F (38-49°C) will dissolve the sugar crystals and return honey to its liquid state. It is crucial to avoid overheating honey, as excessive heat can damage honey flavor, color, enzymes, and nutritional properties. Using a thermometer to monitor honey temperature during warming is recommended. Gentle warming is a reversible process that restores liquid honey without compromising its quality.
