happy solstice - agave, honey-subst and stuff

[Guest guest]

You know, I haven't made it to the health-food store, yet, but I doubt I'll find this agave-thing here, in any "strength" lol.

Even if I find it it is probably outrageously expensive.

Any further suggestions on "honey-replacers" besides this and the date-syrup?Eh, affordable ones , please...Beatriz--- On Sat, 6/21/08, Peter VV <swpgh01 wrote:Peter VV <swpgh01Re: Re: happy solstice Date: Saturday, June 21, 2008, 2:57 PM

Getting up, coughing, wiping nose, spitting unknown life forms , going to work, polishing my red nose, wondering how much more my lungs can take, and how long before I throw up from all the phlegm I have swallowed, catching a train back home, which I will fall asleep on, snore my head off with a waterfall of slimy drool down my chin. Visist my mum, bum a meal off her, go home, hand over money to my kids, complete my cough-a - thon, go to bed.

Its fun being me.

P.S. in case you didnt catch it, I`ve got a bugger of a cold/cough combo....... ....real hard core........ ...

Here in the U.S., Trader Joe's carries agave syrup. I still

haven't tried it. But all the liquid sweeteners that are not made from

GMO corn are fairly expensive.

 

For baking, I like to use molasses. It's also good in a hot

drink, but molasses may be an acquired taste.

 

I've been using date sugar (I assume made only from dates) in

baking, I bought it ages ago and recently rediscovered it. I'd guess

it's more reasonably priced than date syrup, since I assume it's less

" processed " and less likely to spoil.

 

If your local store carries frozen juices, that's another option.

You can scoop out a teaspoonful at a time to use as a sweetener. Jams

and jellies are another idea, though they may not dissolve completely

in hot water.

dunno what you could find in portugal easily, as have never been there meself.

over hwere, maple syrup is easy to find, and can make a basically ok honey substitute

there's also a product called, oh crap, what's it called? j"ust like honey " i beleive, its a rice syrup. not as sweet as agave nectar, and pretty thick

tho, only got it once, and we used it all in a week

Yeah, I believe maple syrup is more popular in North america than here in Europe.I have relatives in US who will be coming to Portugal for summer vacation. But I believe to ask them to bring me a bottle in their luggage is just too much too ask. If a bottle of that leaks, i suppose it's a lot worse than shampoo --- On Sun, 6/22/08, fraggle <EBbrewpunx wrote:fraggle <EBbrewpunxRe: Re: happy solstice - agave, honey-subst and stuff Date: Sunday, June 22, 2008, 12:57 PM
