If your honey has developed a thick and grainy texture, unlike its well-known smooth and liquid
goodness. There’s no need to worry. Your honey is only doing what raw and unfiltered honey
does. This is a process that all raw honey will eventually undergo, called Crystallization.
Crystallization is perfectly normal; you can use it just as you would liquid honey. However, if you
need the liquid consistency for a recipe or prefer it over the crystal texture, follow the directions
below to restore your honey to its original form.
How to Liquify Crystallized Honey:
Here’s how to reliquify your raw honey without damaging its healthy enzymes. Follow the
directions below to restore your honey to its former glory!
1. Warm water technique
2. Dehydrator technique (for those who have this option)
3. Sunny window technique
Warm Water Technique:
Warm the honey in a low-heat water bath.
● Place the honey jar into a pot of warm, not boiling, water. Ensure the honey jar is
submerged completely to the top to expedite the melting process. The water should not
exceed 110°F. Anything warmer may affect the natural enzymes.
● Check every 20 minutes and stir if needed. You should start to see your honey liquefy in
about 20 minutes, but you may need to repeat this process until your honey reaches the
desired consistency.
Keep water at a low temperature to avoid overheating.
Avoid the microwave, as high heat can destroy the honey's beneficial properties.
Dehydrator Technique:
This one is so simple!
● Set your dehydrator to 100°F and place the honey jars inside. Check on the honey every
20 minutes until it’s at the desired consistency.
Sunny Window Technique:
● All you need is a sunny window and a nice, warm day. Place your honey in the sun for
about a day, and it will start to liquify again!
