There is no right or wrong, there is only perspective 🙃. I switched to warm honey , not hot, water because of the nutritional density of the honey and the benefits to our body. It has been two weeks now and I have noticed alot. I am not as jittery. I am able to relax. I am not as tense and my muscles are relaxing. I am able to ease into bed at night quicker. I haven't had heart burn either. So far, so good!
