LorAnn Honey SS Flavor, 1 ounce bottle

I had low expectations based on some of the reviews here, but it tastes like honey to me, and I’m pretty picky. I suspect people may be misusing it. These super-strength flavorings require a light hand. More isn’t always better with them, because as with any flavoring, it can taste one way at a low concentration, and totally different at a higher concentration. I made a sugar- free honey substitute using the following recipe, and it tastes darn close to real honey to me, if a bit thinner in texture:80g allulose40g water4 drops concentrated liquid sucralose3 drops honey syrup.I used a pinch of xanthan gum (1/16th tsp) to add body, but it came out a bit cloudy. Might try gum arabic instead, and/or up the simple syrup concentration to 3:1. This reminds me a lot of the honey thinned with a bit of water bartenders make for mixing cocktails (3:1 honey to water). I think if you get the right ratio of syrup to flavoring and use a light touch with an eyedropper, you’ll be pleased with the results.

The keto honey substitute I purchased tasted like maple syrup to me. I decided to try this honey extract and lo and behold, to my taste buds, it makes the keto honey taste and smell just like honey. I'm on my second bottle and I love it.

I’ve used this in a couple of low-carb recipes where I could not use honey, plus one where I wanted to bring out the honey flavor a bit more. As mentioned in the title, I think this does a great job of capturing the sweetness and scent of honey, but wild honey from my area has quite a bit of bite, a slightly sour edge to it, and you feel it at the back of your throat. I didn’t get that at all.I felt that it was best at emphasizing the honey flavor where a little honey was used, but it faded more to a sweet overtone that didn’t really cut through, when no honey was used. Really good for some uses, but not quite as good for others.I may experiment with adding something to add a bit of bite, but I don’t want to wind up with lemon-honey flavor…

I use this to make honey flavored cotton candy. The smell and taste are spot on, and are very realistic. Pairs really nicely with a bit of almond to round out the flavor a little.

Tastes like Beeswax, less than Honey.Wish it were not true, because I love the taste of honey in my tea, but this tastes a lot like wax. I use a dropper and add only a few drops per liter to my green tea, and it is not what I wanted.That said, there may be applications when a beeswax aroma is not unpleasant.It came in a nice container and seemed of good quality.Wrong flavor for me.

I added about four drops to 12 oz. of a liquified allulose/monk fruit mixture, and it's very close to honey! Enough so, that I feel that I can now cook with it, and not notice much, if any, difference. This makes a diabetic very happy. Next on the list is to try the maple extract.

This is a must buy if you're on low carb diet like me and need some honey flavor to your sauces, coffee or desserts! This is a WINNER! I can't believe how much it tastes like real honey! I can't wait to make my low carb "corn muffin honey bread"

I bought this honey flavoring after my favorite non-sugar honey disappeared from the market. I made a cup and a half of syrup with 3/4 cup each of xylitol, and allulose, and about a half cup water, boiled until syrupy. Then I added a pinch of xanthan gum (about 1/4 tsp) and a pinch of citric acid and a half-tsp of this flavoring. When it didn't quite do the trick, I added 2 tsp of real honey (10g carbs) to the whole mixture. It's actually much closer in flavor to actual honey than the brand of xylitol "honey" that I've been using for years. And since I only use less than a tbsp of this honey replacement at a time, the actual honey in this only adds .5g of carbs per serving, and of course, if you leave the real honey out, it's extremely low carb.
