Provides nutrients
Sugar and artificial sweeteners often contain no or very low amounts of nutrients. Meanwhile, honey is a source of several vitamins, minerals and other health-promoting compounds, potentially helping to enhance the nutritional content of coffee.
Honey also contains antioxidants, which have been shown to help inhibit the activity of free radicals, thereby preventing cell damage. Furthermore, honey often contains pollen, which has been shown to help reduce allergies and strengthen the body's immune system.
Enhance flavor
Honey can also help change and enhance the flavor of coffee. Depending on the type of flower that bees collect nectar from, the honey has its own unique flavor.
However, even mild honey will change the flavor of coffee in a way that sugar or other sweeteners cannot.
For those who are new to trying honey-infused coffee, you should start with mild-tasting honeys like clover honey or coffee flower honey to get used to the change.
Once you get used to it, you can gradually adjust the amount of honey added to suit your taste. However, you should also consider the amount of honey used.
Provides calories
Just adding 2 small spoons (about 14g) of honey to your coffee will provide the body with more than 40 calories and 12g of sugar, so if you are losing weight you should not drink more than 2 cups of coffee mixed with honey per day. .
Drinking coffee mixed with honey will provide some sugar and calories into your body. Depending on your goals and health status, you may be able to choose an alternative sweetener that provides fewer calories.
